about

“THUGS” is my first new song in over four years.

The United States of America is a nation on edge. Tension is high between those who support the Black Lives Matter movement—especially after the graphic death of George Floyd (Rest in Power)—and the increasingly neofascist police state led by an unhinged president who calls antifascists “THUGS” (effectively declaring himself a fascist).

In dozens of cities across the U.S., peaceful protesters have been standing up to police officers who are armed with military-grade weaponry.

In addition to being exposed to overwhelming amounts of police brutality on social media and the evening news, the average American citizen is waking up to how much of their money goes to policing instead of critical social services.

More than $100 billion funds police forces in America every year. The NYPD alone (whose brutal violence against peaceful protesters has been shown in countless videos) has a budget of $6 billion: more than spending on homeless services, housing development and upkeep, youth and community services, health and hospitals, and parks and recreation combined.

Though many of our leaders seem to lack basic empathy, citizens are standing up to bullies en masse.

Good things will come.
