With his latest album “Malta Bend” being released this past week, Stevie Stone has been conducting interviews with a handful of different media sites. Recently, Strange Music‘s website had the chance to speak with him about his song “Suicidal.” In the song, Stevie discusses the well publicized topic of Police Brutality. Here is a piece of that interview:

“Suicidal”. What is this song about? You hear the title and you’re automatically going to think it’s wanting to commit suicide, but it’s kind of different.

Yeah, definitely. Especially when you peep out the scene of the skit right prior to. We touched on everything that’s been happening. You understand, with the police and Ferguson and St. Louis and New York. Not only that, but North Carolina and Baltimore and all these different places that’s going on with these things. We’ve all been through it.

My dude King actually came up with the concept of that record and everything. It fit perfectly into the mold of everything. I wanted to touch on that on the album. This is a way that we just decided to do it. It felt good.

“Suicidal”, you know? Everybody feels that way sometimes. Like, “fuck it.” You get drove to feel that way sometimes. I think in the skit, we showed what happens every single day. Everybody’s had that done before. And not necessarily just black people. All races, I guarantee they’ve been characterized and pulled over because of one thing or another. We just had to touch base on that a little bit. It went right with “Suicidal”. That’s Glasses Malone, Me, and King Harris.
