Freedom of Speech (2025)

Court‑ordered lyric review: As part of his 2023 release from prison, B.G. (Christopher Dorsey) is required to submit his lyrics to his probation officer before release—a prior restraint rarely imposed on artists. Critics like PEN America deemed it “a slap in the face” to artistic freedom.

First Amendment spotlight: B.G. has openly compared his situation to rap censorship in the 1990s, like that of 2 Live Crew and N.W.A., stating “we’re still saying that rap is pretty much on trial”
