Here goes a little taste of what's going on right here in the United States. Put together by Magee McIlvaine of Sol Productions From the Frontlines is just about ready to hit the net. I have been collecting footage for the past two years as well as doing in depth research to expose the truth about our criminal justice system.

I remember the first serious arrest I was involved in I was weeks shy of turning 18 years old. I was placed in a steel cage wearing only my boxers. It was cold and dark as hell. I was bleeding from injury's I had sustained during my apprehension. My entire face was swollen, I took a hell of a beating. As I lay there on the concrete floor I prayed harder then I had ever prayed and I then vowed that I would do something, anything in my power to fight back and change the treatment of people by police and correctional officers. It took me over 20 years of struggling to break free of the yolk the criminal justice system had around my neck but I finally made it, I kept my word. I'm here now.

I have been free now for 6 years. Though I have managed to stay clear of the beast, I do not and will not let my guard down for a second. If you knew the system like I know it, you would be just as cautious. It's to easy to get caught up out there, way to easy. Every year hundreds of new laws are put into effect, a citizen could barely keep up with all the new laws. These laws are like bear traps. Easy to get snagged in, nearly impossible to get out.

I'm not alone fighting for truth, justice and real freedom. I am going to introduce soldiers from all walks of life and from all over the world that have dedicated their lives in some way to fighting in this struggle that was born centuries ago. You will also see a side of hip hop rarely seen in the United States in these days. Hip hop is the dominating culture in many countries with large communities being involved in positive hip hop functions. See b-boys and b-girls supporting me as I confront politicians on the importance of our culture to not only today's youth but to everyone in all communities. Hip hop is respected in Europe unlike here in the states where a larger percentage of people view hip hop as being negative. Hip hop is quickly becoming a driving force behind many movements and causes. Have to remember, hip hop changed the face of the planet once already. Who's to say we can't do it again.

Sitting in that cell back in the days I remember my thoughts being filled with violence. I have to give all thanks to God for guiding me to the proper outlet and means of expression. I am grateful for everyone God has brought into my life to make this all possible not for me, but every brotha I left behind and for every one of my sisters locked in a cage. We have near 2 and a half million people locked in cages. The larger percentage are non violent offenders. I have to ask, what the fuck are we doing? I get embarrassed to talk about our system in other countries. Most countries don't even know we have so many prisoners. I don't think many people right here in America know we have so many prisoners. Maybe I'll just take the camera out and ask some people.

Anyway this is just 1 of a couple of trailers that will be put out while we finish up the episodes for the season. Keep it ONLOQ Peace. "X"
