James Broadnax, a young Black man, faces execution for a 2008 double murder. Prosecutors used his rap lyrics as evidence, biasing the jury. His lawyers appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, highlighting racial bias in using rap lyrics as confessions. Experts and rappers argue its racial bias, as juries see rap as real life but not other genres. Stars like Travis Scott, T.I., and Killer Mike support Broadnax, warning against criminalizing hip-hop creativity. Maryland recently passed a law setting strict tests for using artistic expression as evidence.
