We've heard from many rappers already about how the felt after George Zimmerman was found not guilty in the case investigating the death of Florida teen, Trayvon Martin. Now, a rapper from the same area at Trayvon, SpaceGhostPurrp speaks up, and says his crew takes to shouting "Zimmerman Killa" to show their true distaste for the man who shot Martin.
Speaking to HipHopDX, the Raider Klan rapper, who Trayvon was a fan of before he passed, talks about how the death of the teenager has affected him and his crew because not only was he a fan, but he was from the same area, Carol City. He talks about how race played a part and he feels that they were being racist when handing out the verdict to Zimmerman, and that Trayvon was a non-violent kid.
Check out the excerpt below:
