A few months ago, Meek promised to stop rapping about extreme violence following his upcoming DC4 mixtape’s release.

This week, music group Living Colour released a gun violence awareness Notorious B.I.G. “Who Shot Ya” cover video.

Over crunchy, staccato riffs, the band turns Biggie’s vivid assertion of hardness into a protest song about the waves of gun violence by both police officers and citizens alike. Now the official video brings home that statement with remembrances of people who died from guns, from Amadou Diallo to Medgar Evers to Tupac Shakur, who originally thought Big’s “Who Shot Ya?” was aimed at him.
