21 Savage just dropped a visual for his track, "Nothin New," which is featured on his debut album, Issa Album and it highlights racism and police brutality. The video features clips of Colin Kaepernick, Barack Obama and Lebron James speaking on police brutality and systemic racism. The video follows a young girl through the struggles of having a drug addict as a mother and a father in prison. The visual shows the young girl robbing a store before being followed, shot and killed by the police.
On the opening verse, 21 raps, "They thought I only rapper about murder and pistols/I'm trying to feed my family, I ain't being political."
