St. Louis, Missouri rapper/producer Deloney presents the self-directed music video for “Yea, I’m a Stunner”, his self-produced single from his forthcoming album Black Choices. Deloney’s previous releases include Ahole Music, Rhymes & Poetry, and STL-ien. “’Yea, I’m a Stunner'” is a feel good track for those feel good vibes with an old school reggae/dancehall influence,” Deloney says. “I was inspired by this girl from my college track team that was from Trinidad and Tobago. Her Caribbean vibe inspired me to make a beat that had a reggae and dancehall influence. I wanted to make something that anyone can jam to.” Check out Deloney’s visuals after the jump.

Last night, a grand jury in Ferguson, Missouri came to a sudden halt when they decided to not to indict Officer Darren Wilson in the August death of Michael Brown, the unarmed teenager who was shot and killed after an encounter with police. Protesters in Ferguson and across the country expressed outrage at the decision. It was soon after the saddening decision that Run the Jewels (Killer Mike and El-P) performed in St. Louis, just a few miles from Ferguson. Killer Mike, who is noted for his outspoken views toward law enforcement, delivered an emotional speech in which he blasted the country’s “war machine,” offered support to Brown’s family and the protesters, and even expressed fear for his own two sons.

Cops like to arrest black men, especially if they can tag the adjective “rapper” to the suspects. Fortunately, neither of these artists was held in custody, although as Joey shows, this kind of treatment is so absurd it’s laughable.
