Rapper BG ordered to have all future songs approved by US Government

Ruling leads to claims that BG’s right to free speech unfairly challenged in another case putting rap lyrics on trial

That mixed ruling came on Friday from US district court judge Susie Morgan in the latest development to a case that prompted discussions in some circles about an American musician’s rights to free expression under his country’s constitution – as well as his need to financially support himself – with federal authorities’ obligation to enforce the supervised prison release plan which he accepted. Dorsey fell under scrutiny from federal probation officers after he performed at a concert in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he now lives, alongside fellow rapper Boosie – and he had also released an album with 2020 Grammy nominee Gucci Mane. Prosecutors also maintained that Dorsey did not obtain the necessary clearance to produce such work, which they argued also undermined his goals of rehabilitation, citing lyrics that exalted a pair of men who are serving sentences of life imprisonment after being linked to multiple murders in a drug-dealing and gang-violence racketeering case.
