San Diego rapper Brandon Duncan, aka Tiny Doo, has no criminal record, yet he is now facing trial on nine counts of participating in “criminal street gang conspiracy.” If convicted, the charges could land him life in prison. The charges stem from Duncan’s latest album, No Safety. San Diego Deputy District Attorney Anthony Campagna is leading the prosecution. It’s a case that redefines the traditional understanding of conspiracy and free speech. The Guardian points out that the issues have more to do with class and race and that Duncan seems to be guilty of nothing more than speaking to the truth about the world surrounding him.
