Stalley releases his music video for "Raise Your Weapon." The video is directed by Abraham Vilchez-Moran and Jai Jamison and offers a few different story lines that touch on racial injustice in America. One that's prominent throughout the clip is an African American teenager who gets locked for, as it appears, standing on a street and eating Skittles. We then witness him being thrown into jail. While it's not clarified in "Raise Your Weapon," the inclusion of Skittles is likely a reference to the tragic death of Trayvon Martin. The 17-year-old Floridian was shot and killed in February of 2012 by George Zimmerman. At the time Martin had a bag of Skittles and an Arizona Iced Tea on him. Either way, these are powerful visuals from the MMG rapper.

"Raise Your Weapon" is included on Stalley's latest mixtape Honest Cowboy which is available now.
