Peace, y'all. It's your boy, Johnny Fazley, in here with allhiphop.com

So, Roc Nation's documentary about the prison in Mississippi is gonna be premiering on A&E
0:09
Let's talk hip hop. All right, yo, this situation is crazy, right? Because Roc Nation, they produced a documentary
0:18
about Parchman Prison, right? Parchman Prison is the oldest state penitentiary in Mississippi
0:24
And I don't know if y'all remember, but about three years ago, during the pandemic
0:28
Parchman, they were in the news a lot for the conditions that their prisoners were under
0:33
right? Yo Gotti is somebody who really, really was vocal about this whole situation
0:38
You guys know that he's down with Roc Nation, Reform, and Meek Mill as well. And all of these
0:43
guys, Robert Kraft, Michael Rubin, Meek Mill, Jay-Z, and Yo Gotti, have all been trying to
0:49
bring light to conditions that prisoners face every single day, right? So, the whole situation
0:56
is that they called Parchman Prison to the fire, man. And it seems like after an investigation
1:02
that they realized that they were violating the 8th and 14th amendments of the prisoners
1:08
in Parchman, right? So, they started to film a documentary. Roc Nation did the documentary
1:14
Yo Gotti is the one who put money behind that doc, which is crazy. And so, now it's gonna
1:19
premiere on June 17th at 8pm on A&E, right? Tameka Mallory will be in the documentary. Yo Gotti
1:27
Jay-Z, a lot of people that are down with Reform, other activists, and people like that who have
1:32
been fighting against Parchman for years. So, it should be a pretty cool thing, and this is what
1:37
they do, right? They bring to light, or put this right in your living room, right in front of your
1:42
face, the injustice that's going on with people who are in the prison system, right? From being
1:49
locked up unjustly, to being locked up way too long, to just having horrible conditions
1:54
dirty conditions, it being too cold, it being too hot, it being too whatever, right? So, I think
2:00
that it's dope that they're bringing this to the forefront. And yeah, let me know what y'all think
2:03
about this in the comments
