about

It’s crazy because “S2DG” is mad old and was the first song I ever started to work on but never got the chance to see it through. Then I kept hearing about the killings and deaths in the community. I remember when the young teen, Nigel Shelby, from Alabama committing suicide because he was bullied for being gay, I was like I wanna release the song today. Another portion of the song is my relation to the homophobia from the Black community. I’ve always felt like black people in particular disapproved of homosexuality versus anyone else. Some feel as though we are dishonoring our people. I think anything that isn’t hyper-masculine is looked as a threat or “dishonor.” Don’t get me started. So I needed to make it very clear that you’re treating me, us, the same way you were treated back in the cotton days. I always say I’ve never been called a nigger, at least not to my face, but I’ve heard faggot too many times to count. And I don’t care if S2DG isn’t appealing to all sexualities, I need little babies to not kill themselves because of bullying.
