Beginning with the words, “There’s a war going on,” Punch’s new single, “40 Yrs,” broaches the subject of the civil unrest going on in Watts, California. The Top Dawg Entertainment president doesn’t release music of his own too often, but when he does, it hits hard like a punch in the gut.

The Soundcloud caption reads, “This song is dedicated to the 40 something year civil war that has ripped Watts, California apart. A war between families divided by the train tracks. My heart goes out to all of us who have lost someone due to this war.”

Produced by Tae Beast, “40 Yrs” is not tied to any particular project, but in previous interviews, he has talked about releasing a solo album in the near future.
