Juicy J has released a new song titled “Hella Fuckin’ Trauma.” On the track, the rapper addresses systemic racism, reparations, the carceral system, COVID-19, and the ownership of his song masters. “Why they lock up all the real ones, man? Enough is enough/Labels wanna own my masters, enough is enough,” goes one part of the self-produced track. Listen to “Hella Fuckin’ Trauma” below.
Earlier this year, Juicy J released a diss track aimed at Columbia Records that criticized the label and sampled a speech by Prince. He later removed the song and said that he had spoken with Columbia representatives and “we are all good!”
