young people

, such as being involved in federal crime some time ago The surveyed rapper 69
is a typical example of gang chasing
69 because the first hit single
"Gummo" in 2017 burst into the hip-hop circle

to think I filmed the MV
with gangster so I found a bunch of blood gang members
to wear the iconic red headscarf in the MV

Gang life is undoubtedly a corner of the slums. Black people can't pretend to ignore
