District Attorney Fani Willis has advice for rappers: ‘Don’t confess to crimes on rap lyrics’
ShawFulton County District Attorney Fani Willis will not back down when it comes to the use of rap lyrics in criminal cases. Willis recently held a press conference where she answered questions about upcoming criminal cases that involve high-profile Atlanta rappers, Young Thug and Gunna. Notable rap lyrics from Young Thug could be used against him during his trial which will start in 2023. Some have argued that rap lyrics are tools of artistic expression and should not be used as evidence in court. Don’t confess to crimes on rap lyrics if you do not want them used or at least get out of my county,” she said.

One of Atlanta’s most influential artists, Young Thug (aka Thugger), finally dropped his long anticipated second studio album “Punk” on Oct. 15. After teasing it for years, Thugger did not disappoint and made this masterpiece worth the wait. Next, there are soft, slower songs like “Stupid/Asking” and “Recognize” featuring frequent collaborator and friend, Gunna, that soften the vibe. There is no denying he’s hip-pop’s biggest rockstar and we are hoping to see “Punk” nominated for a Grammy.

Megan Thee Stallion’s debut album, “Good News,” dropped Friday, Nov. 20, and it did not disappoint. The Junior M.A.F.I.A.-inspired features an angry Stallion discussing the controversial incident in which she was shot by former friend and possible fling, rapper Tory Lanez. A standout on the album, “Cry Baby” featuring DaBaby is a trap rap collaboration which showcases the original Hot Girl’s ability to spit bars at any cadence. However, one collab that lived up to expectations is “Freaky Girls” featuring SZA. The song itself is a bit underwhelming, considering it is a very “been there done that” for Thee Stallion, but does deliver some of her iconic “ahhs” that make it hard not to bust a move.
