To commemorate Burn Rubber Sneaker Boutique and Acapulco Gold‘s Detroit Riots collaboration, eight Michigan emcees (listed above, along with Phatboy Chief, Fat Ray & Fatt Father) contribute a verse to a Black Mlik produced cut.
Both companies are known for creating designs that start conversations, create debates and educate the masses all at the same time. The Detroit Riot series was inspired by the city’s Riots of 1967, that occurred as a direct result of many of the ills that are plaguing our society today like a troubled economy, high unemployment rate, police brutality, dissatisfaction with social conditions and the rapid population decline in many urban areas. The Detroit Riots series brings light to how far we’ve come as a society but also shows how close we are to repeating history if issues are not only addressed but corrected.
