Late Wednesday night (July 6), Slim Thug releases a new track called "IDKY" featuring XO. Throughout the nearly four-minute song, the Houston, Texas rapper speaks on police brutality against African-Americans throughout the nation.

Slim Thug raps, "I was born and raised in the USA / Where we see cops killing blacks on the news every day / And they do it like it’s okay, like they know they gon' get away / To stop myself from thinking reckless I just ignore it and pray."

The track comes right after the shooting deaths of Alton Sterling by Baton Rouge, La. police and of Philando Castile by a Falcon Heights, Minn. officer. In his SoundCloud caption, Thug writes, "I remember thinking in the last few weeks this song might be too late cause it's been a minute since the last one and look here we go again twice in less than 24hrs ...  #BlackLivesMatter."

The record will land on Slim Thug's upcoming album, Hogg Life 4: American King, which will hit stores on August 4. You can pre-order Hogg Life 4 now via iTunes. You can listen to the powerful new track "IDKY" featuring XO above via Slim Thug's SoundCloud page.
