While the world of drill music continues to face criticism surrounding violent content that some believe furthers criminal acts, one of the frontrunners of New York’s rap scene has spoken out. Kay Flock, who police arrested on a murder charge in December, shared an open letter on Instagram where he vowed to use his platform and influence for good. He first apologized to his family, friends, and supporters before detailing his charges. “If you know me, you know that I have a good heart but you also know I’m damaged inside and hurt from my past,” he said.
The rapper explained that he “lost two of my brothers to gun violence” while incarcerated. “They bring up the negative but never bring up the positive. Everything I do is from the heart and genuine so most thing was never recorded or spoken on,” he added. “They keep trying to paint this picture of me but I won’t fold. Now they want to label us a gang when it reality we are a family, and music group that used rap to help change our lives.” However, the rapper explained that he wants to set a better example for the younger generations that look up to him.
