“I heard them say we done doubled the murder rate/Shit is so crazy, make Obama wanna relocate.”
JDott Trife’s newest song, “Homicide,” preaches the unfortunate truth that many Chicagoans have to face on a daily basis. While the Chicago rapper paints a picture of inner-city life with his lyrics, the video, directed by Sense Hernandez, depicts a day in the life of a young teenager trying to get his come up in the drug-filled streets. Songs like “Homicide” are necessary to provide commentary on the realities of “street” life and the potential consequences that come from it.
Jdott Trife’s album, FYF – The Plug, is dropping on June 4th. You can watch the video for “Homicide” and read JDott Trife’s thoughts on the song below.
Although the title is very bold and straight forward, “Homicide” is not a song glorifying violence, but simply raising awareness of the current homicides occurring in the inner city of Chicago. The video shows the day in a life of a young teenage boy growing up in an inner-city Chicago neighborhood and how he is influenced by the “Hustler lifestyle” that ultimately leads him to an early demise.
The video was shot and edited by Sense Hernandez of Beast Factory Films.
The song was written by JDott Trife and produced by Nascent & Q.B
