Derek Minor Releases His New Video "Free"

Award-winning hip-hop artist Derek Minor debuted the video for his new single "Free" via his blog, www.derekminor.com/blog. The recent murders of several African-Americans by law enforcement including the killing of Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, struck a deep chord inside of Minor. This motivated him to write and produce "Free," which addresses the violence and disparities in our culture based on race.
"Free," written, produced, and mastered by Minor within just three hours, conveys the anguish he feels inside, pondering the pain and fear of these experiences and troubling times. The music video for "Free," which was conceptualized by Minor and directed by Patrick Tohill, was filmed a few days later.
Minor is inspired by his audience to bring about change. He writes music for people and for God and strives to be as authentic as he can and believes that's how change can start. When talking about the inspiration for "Free," he says, "We've been too occupied with ourselves to be "united". We need real reform and real solutions and it starts with ALL of us. I wanted to bring that idea to life in the video for my song "Free". We may not have all of the answers, but if there's going to be change, I'm convinced we have to do it together." All proceeds and contributions will be made to our friends at The Expectations Project to help end education inequality for students.
