Video: Rick Ross – “Free Enterprise” Feat. John Legend [WATCH]

Rick Ross drops the visuals for “Free Enterprise” featuring John Legend off last year’s ‘Black Market’ album.

The video comes a day after Donald Trump was elected President of the United States and Republicans won the house, senate, and the Supreme Court. It is projected that minorities will be heavily targeted and prosecuted by the court system given Trump and the Republican Party’s bigotry and racism.

Towards the end of the video an African-American is stopped by law enforcement officers, who drive up on the side walk and exit the car with guns drawn in front the man’s son. Ross adds to the powerful video by displaying prison statistics of black men at the end.

ScHoolboy proceeded by peforming YG and Nipsey Hussle’s controversial “Fuck Donald Trump” song along with the crowd, who sang along. Watch the video below via his Instagram.
