"They're using black kids to further the destruction of the black community," he says in a preview clip.
He further discussed the topic on Twitter.
The industry, owned and ran by white people, uses young naive financially desperate black kids to perpetuate negative black stereotypes that in turn hold back & further destroy the black community. Black kids are being used as weapons of mass destruction against their own people

As a guest in the house of hip hop, I can’t just come in here and take take take...which is what white people historically do to anything black created. I have to give back to the culture that’s allowing me to take care of myself and my family. I try to do that by shedding light

On music business pitfalls to avoid/other things that I’ve learned that I feel could benefit anybody who’s tryna navigate this industry. I know a lotta time the “how” is harsh, but I want everyone to win on their terms and not get swindled and I hope y’all get that 🙏🏼

Russ, who's proudly independent, has a history of being anti-label and anti-music industry. What do you think of his latest attack?
