In the wake of recent shootings of African-American in the US, Jay-z has decided to lend his voice to police brutality in the US that recently see police shootings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile shot and video released to the public.
Jay-Z in a message said that he had done the song a while ago, but never finished it, because he believes the death of Michael Brown won't be the last police brutality, and now after the killings of the 2 men in Baton Rogue and Minnesota respectively, he decided to drop the "Spiritual" track.
"Punch (TDE) told me I should drop it when Mike Brown died, sadly I told him, 'this issue will always be relevant.' I'm hurt that I knew his death wouldn't be the last," the statement reads. "I'm saddened and disappointed in THIS America - we should be further along. WE ARE NOT."
