Bun B and Trae the Truth share George Floyd tribute

The video for the track captures the essence of how Floyd’s death made the world stand up to fight against police violence and systemic injustices. The visuals ends with the poignant message, “Now is the time to stand up and fight against police brutality and systemic racism that plagues the United States of America. We can act now to take control of the power structures that be and destroy the system that is in place. No longer will we stand for the oppression be levied upon us by the white man.”

Bun B took to on Instagram to write, “I am honoring the memory of George Floyd with my new single ‘This World.” Later, in another post he added, “It’s been a year but what has changed? So the fight continues and we turn our pain into purpose.”
