Ty Dolla $ign has always put on for this brother. Ty named his album Free TC in reference to his incarcerated brother, and produced a documentary of the same name about him last year. He's long maintained in interviews and in his music that his brother—who is currently serving a life sentence for a murder charge—is innocent, and he's used his platform as a celebrity to advocate for him.

Now, in his new video for "No Justice," Ty brings Big TC in on the action, recruiting him to sing on a track addressing police brutality and the fight for black civil rights. Filmed in a simple fashion on what seems to be a phone camera and released in three parts on Instagram, "No Justice" finds TC leading things off with an emotional verse. "I watch them gun my people down/Plus we killing off each other/Ain't no justice for the brothers," he sings.

Afterwards, Ty comes in to tell the story of a police raid on his home. "They done handcuffed my mama/They done handcuffed my granny, handcuffed my sister/Then some old cops came/Crackers tore the whole house up, didn't even show a warrant." The whole video is set over a number of clips—spread via social media—of the assaults and deaths of black people at the hands of law enforcement or other authorities.

"No Justice" is the second single from Ty's upcoming project Campaign. You can watch Ty Dolla $ign and Big TC's "No Justice" video below in three parts via Instagram.
