“It’s a state of emergency,” Mallory proclaimed. “It’s been a hell of a year. Hell for over 400 years. My people, it’s time we stand, it’s time we demand the freedom that this land promises. President Biden, we demand justice, equity, policy and everything else that freedom encompasses, and to accomplish this, we don’t need allies. We need accomplices. It’s bigger than black and white. This is not a trend. This is our plight. Until Freedom! Until Freedom! Until Freedom!”
After the performance, Killer Mike hit up Instagram, adding, “Love and Respect y’all Immensely @lilbaby & @tamikadmallory. As one half of #RunTheJewels I was proud to be invited to rock with y’all on behalf of “The People”! #RTJ.”
“The Bigger Picture” was also nominated for Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance. Megan The Stallion and Beyoncé ended up taking home both trophies for their “Savage (Remix)” collaboration.
