Music Alert: J Cole - Free

The plight of black males in America in more recent times as well as over the years has been a very touching topic of discussion. On Friday, American rapper, J. Cole put his talents and vulnerabilities to use in bringing social awareness of the fatality of unarmed Michael (Mike) Brown, who was shot and killed by Darren Wilson, City of Ferguson, police officer last Saturday. It's nice to see that some artists in the rap game are still in touch and  aware of the current issues that are happening in America. Although he admits, in his blog, that LIFE HIT and he became desensitized. His message  has resonated with me and I appreciate his honesty. I have to stay just as aware as an adult as I once was as a student in college.  Thank you J. Cole for that reminder and for sharing this track. xxo,
