“RIGHTS” is a Music Video that is Honest and Hard Hitting in its description of the terror BLACK PEOPLE continue to endure in AMERICA 400 plus years later. Bronx teen Rich M. wrote the song which lyrically illustrates the plight of being young and BLACK IN AMERICA as he painfully raps, “IF YOU WON’T GIVE ME FREEDOM IMMA TAKE IT!

“RIGHTS” was produced with Bronx youth from the CLUB neXt after-school program and features RICH M. who was nominated in 2017 for the hopefully optimistic “IF I WAS PRESIDENT” Music Video.
