Since Meek Mill's incarceration, everyone involved in the hip hop community has shown their support for the unjust sentence he received. Whether it's Jay-Z taking a stand during his concert or A$AP Ferg dropping off the Meek Mill assisted "Trap & A Dream" video a day after the news broke out, people have been using their platform to show support. Today, YG drops off the "FREEMEEK" video in support of Meek Mill.
YG and his 4hunnid brand deliver the socially aware visuals for "FREEMEEK." YG uses the video to showcase the new designs for 4Hunnid's Fall/Winter 17 line while adding his opinion on America's judicial system. The video consists of a group of people throwing up graffiti onto walls that read "Free Meek" and "Fuck The System." While a short video, it does a great job at blending YG's artistry and aesthetic with his clothing brand all while addressing serious subject matter.
