Derrick is in a Boston-based funk band called Soulfege. He writes about racist record companies:

... You can't be rappin' about cappin' no Jews. Not in this business. And that's alright by me. The problem is you CAN rap about bustin' a cap in a Black, and you are in fact ENCOURAGED to do so if you aspire to be in the biz, because a disproportionate batch of these so-called acts do just that. Its real and it stinks. A Recording Industry dominated by whites sells poisonous images of blacks to youth of ALL races. And we all buy in. Black, white, yellow, brown we all want to be down with those baaaad niggas. Who thankfully, apparently only kill other niggers so if you swingin' in the suburbs you can be sure you safe. ...
