Scarface featuring Rush Davis - 'Steer' - Scarface has never been quiet about addressing police brutality and for his newest visual "Steer" he gives us a look at how cops are quick to play judge and jury. After a drug deal goes bad, an unarmed Face finds himself on the wrong side of the gun when an overzealous cops shoots him dead after reaching for his phone. The eerie clip mirrors so many of today's headlines so you know the Geto Boy had to put the epidemic matter on front street. While Scarface shows that #BlackLivesMatter in his latest clip and prepares to drop his new album Deeply Rooted on September 4th, check out other MCs who tackled police brutality in their videos. -Michael Harris (@IceBlueVA)(Photo: Scarface via Youtube)
