Spoken word poet, educator, and emcee Karega Bailey has captivated audiences with his fierce delivery and brutally honest lyricism. For his latest leak, “Crime Pays,” Karega demonstrates his staunch commitment to social justice and educating the masses on the seedy underbelly of the D.C. streets. The song addresses organized crime, gentrification/urban development and the relocation of crimes to specific neighborhoods. Produced by Doc Battle, with cuts provided by DJ RBI, “Crime Pays” is that feel good music packed with a powerful message.
