New York City's Pride parade went down this weekend, and many people took to the streets as well as social media to show their support. Many artists showed support, with one of them being rapper Vic Mensa who dropped the track "Free Love" featuring Le1f, Halsey, Lil B, and Malik Yusef.
On the track, Vic Mensa took the time to take a stand for the LGBT community, and even went on social media ahead of the track's release to explain the reasoning behind creating the song. The rapper said "A year ago I remember having a conversation with a family member about LGBT rights. I've always been in support, but I didn't feel personally attached or really feel like it was my battle to fight." The rapper had a change of heart once a family member came out to him, which made him realize that the battle for equality and love was his fight also.
The track features Le1f, who is an openly gay rapper, along with Lil B who put out an album a while back titled I'm Gay, as well as Halsey. All of these artists openly support LGBT rights. Listen to the track above.
