Game recruits Rick Ross, Diddy and others for Mike Brown tribute track

While J. Cole was among the first rappers to address Ferguson and the shooting death of 18-year-old Mike Brown on record, the majority of the hip hop community has been relatively silent.

Cali emcee Game aims to change that.

The West Coast rapper recruited a ‘who’s who’ in rap, including Diddy, CurrenSy, Wale, Rick Ross, Yo Gotti, Fabolous and more for a new track called “Don’t Shoot.”

The song premiered exclusively on Rolling Stone Wednesday. Game claims he didn’t have a problem getting everyone to jump on the tribute track.

“I managed to get everyone on board fairly easy, simply because we have the hearts,”  the Game told Rolling  Stone. “We care and are inclined to take a positive approach to resolving an issue that has existed since the beginning of mankind, and that is racism and hatred towards one another as human beings.”
