According to reports and pictures, protestors took part in a “die-in” protest this past weekend.

Braving the cold and the snow, more than a hundred people gathered on the streets of St. Louis Sunday, temporarily blocking a major intersection in the process. Reuters reported that dozens of people staged a “die-in” — which involved some protesters pretending to have been shot by others acting as police officers — as a way of honoring Brown’s memory.

Check out what big declaration Missouri’s governor made today right here…

Missouri Governor Jay Nixon declared a State of Emergency Monday (November 17).

Missouri Governor Jay Nixon declared a State of Emergency in Missouri Monday afternoon, just days before a grand jury is expected to reach a decision about whether to indict Darren Wilson, the St. Louis County police officer who killed Michael Brown in August. The declaration, which is good for 30 days, also activates the National Guard in Missouri.

Rap heavyweights Game, 2 Chainz, Rick Ross and more recently hooked up to release their tribute-driven “Don’t Shoot” anthem.

“Time to take a stand and save our future/ Like we all got shot, we all got shot/ Throwing up our hands, don’t let ’em shoot us,” the chorus rings out. From there, we get verses that mix anger, sadness and critique from Game, Rick Ross, 2 Chainz, Diddy, Fabolous, Wale, Swizz Beatz, Yo Gotti, Curren$y, Problem, King Pharaoh and TGT, as well as an intro from DJ Khaled.

A few days prior, Hot Boys’ Turk spoke to SOHH about being motivated by Roc Nation stud J. Cole‘s “Be Free” tribute to pen his “Hands Up.”

“It had to be done. J. Cole, you know, shout-out to J. Cole, he actually released his new track and he’s singing on it and I was inspired by his own record. So I gotta shout him out. My producer Joey Did This, he sent me a track and I just went him. It took me some time. I would say it took me about thirty minutes to write the verse. I wrote two verses and I called my engineer and told him to meet me in the studio. I set up the time, did the song and just released it.” (SOHH)

  1. They do not fear us. But they will use this claim as an excuse and justification to strike first with deadly force. Stand strong my people! Peace will find us when we find justice ………

  2. Keep Speaking Out Missouri!!! Damn man, I’m proud of those people!!! Keep up the fight!!

  3. I’m so proud of my home state for help changing the whole world. Long as it’s peaceful I respect all we doing. They been killing us getting off since the Emmitt Till days. They got off for killing Travon too, but no disrespect to no other city but our voice has been heard and we put on harder than any other city for our rights. I’m proud of the fact the people did it, we ain’t have no celebrity influence or none of that, the people of my city put on. And I feel as “hopefully” we changed something pertaining how black man have been murdered, judged and treated in this white man country. Hopefully closure with a conviction comes for Ms. Brown. R.I.P. to Mike, Travon and all the brothers lost.
