While at New York City’s Quad Studio’s, during his album release party for, Untitled, YP addressed the harrowing issue of the violence that’s besieged his hometown of Chicago. Speaking candidly with AllHipHop, the 6’4″ lyrical giant eloquently expressed his insight saying, “The violence at The Crib, is something that could never be contained in one answer.” Sincerity wraps his sentiment, and the dialogue then delves even deeper.
He soon speaks on how the Chi-Town murder rate is opportunistic, and it continues to greedily consume both those who live their lives inside and outside of the booth. Later, YP examines the inherent challenges and possible rewards of having a film like Spike Lee’s, Chiraq, tell Chicago’s story.
