DETROIT, MI, MARCH 26, 2008: Amidst the scandal which has rocked the city of Detroit and has the Mayor facing numerous charges. Has anyone stopped to consider the collateral damage? One local Detroit artist has. FlyyWill an aspiring Local artist has felt the pressure of the Mayoral office since 2004 when he first released his song “News Headline†a gritty depiction of Detroit city life which some would call controversial to say the least. The song which was written in 2004 speaks of deception and betrayal at the highest level of inner city government. According to FlyyWill who originally put his song on his Myspace page for promotional purposes, He had been contacted through an E-mail on Myspace by an unidentified city official stating that his song was inappropriate, slanderous, an should be removed immediately before legal actions were taken against him. “I was shocked†says FlyyWill who has been a native Detroiter for over 25 years and is an Operation Enduring Freedom veteran. “I mean I put the song out to make people aware of what was going on! In the hoods of the city we’ve all known about the actions of the mayor and other city officials for some time, But when we speak on it there’s no one to listen to us†Says Flyy who’s house was raided on May 22, 2007. After the raid police left no warrant or paperwork stating the purpose of the raid. “I had my photography equipment in there and a bunch of other important equipment which they came through and destroyed like it was nothingâ€. After trying to contact the Detroit Police Department to find out who issued the raid and under what authority. Flyy came up empty handed. “The first week I called it was like nobody knew anything! Like my house was raided by imaginary cops. Then the following week I heard a warrant had been issued but it was signed off the day after my house was actually raided!†There definitely seems to have been treachery afoot coming from a higher source. When asked what he thought of the whole situation Flyy had this to say “It’s sad ya’know, very sad. The Mayor had a chance to show the world that just cause you from the hood doesn’t mean all you can be is a drug dealer or a criminal, But instead he makes them look correct in there assumptions cause he wants to have parties an spend money that aint his!†In these times of corruption at all levels of government is it presumptuous to assume that Big Brother isn’t watching and taking note to those who speak the truth against it.
