Raz used to do criminal work for a gang/cartel/group. And probably visited the strip clubs and brothels after he got paid. That was the gangsterlife, but now he moved on in his life and found his peace with music, even though it began as making money with it, it now turnt into a movement since they’re fanbase is groing and they’re trying to spread a message.

In the older days, their neighberhood was more dangerous.
Richer White people were afraid to walk around the corner with their dog, because they might end up getting robbed by poor minorities.

People that went to college, tried to hide that they were going to college, ‘cause the other minorities were jalouse, and the college kids would get in trouble, when they were running their jog and bumping into a group/gang.

Cops used to be afraid to get out of the car, because the gangs had more power than they had. When something happened, they most likely drove by and acted like nothing happened. But now when they see a gang, they get out.

The neighberhood is changing in a positive way

They didn’t change, still a friend group enjoying life and hanging in their town.

People most likely used to tell them to stop doing things like smoking weed for example. As they were a group of kids, but now they are grown up, they’re still doing the same things and there’s no elders to tell them what to do, because they’re the elders now.
