Shortly after it was announced that the death of Freddie Gray, the Baltimore, Maryland man whose spine was severed following an arrest, had been ruled a homicide, a number of members of the Hip Hop community turned to Twitter to share their thoughts on the breaking news.
West Coast wordsmith MC Ren spoke on there being “some justice” while Talib Kweli tweeted about Gray being murdered while in police custody.
“#FreddieGray had a LEGAL blade. Arrested illegally. Murdered in police custody,” Kweli tweeted earlier today (May 1).
Jamla Records artist Rapsody was one of several to offer praise to Marilyn Mosby, Baltimore City State’s Attorney, via Twitter.
