PUSH-PUSH-PUSH "BEAR WITNESS TO" SERIES.

This week I viewed a video called "Ain't no place like home" by Rapper Coo Coo Bellamy.

It is a video about a Milwaukee man who rose to fame but experienced loss due to cocaine use and activity in the public square. The video traveled to various sites in Milwaukee he was familiar with - schools, eateries, churches, hangouts, parks, housing development - individuals that are family as well as others known in the city.

His words of nostalgia strike pride and the desire for HOPE and CHANGE - removal of greed, scam behavior by leaders and the people, increased incarceration, and neighborhood "death poles".

Take a look and read a Milwaukee Independent article that fills in more blanks.
