Hit the jump for more.
On his album title Ty said:
“For those of you that don’t know, the reason I named my album Free TC is because my lil’ brother is named TC. He’s locked up for something that he didn’t do and what I’m trying to do is just raise awareness for the whole mass incarceration thing going on in our country, especially with our people; the whole social-racial-injustice thing that’s also going on. We’re changing the world with this album, it’s more than just dope music.”
On his experience at the Million Man March:
“Yeah, I was there, man, I was onstage, it was crazy. It was real. First of all, I met with [Minister Louis] Farrakhan a couple of months before [the Million Man March] and he told me that he wanted me to come down. I remember watching it as a kid, the first Million Man March, and I always knew [that] if I got a chance to go to one, I would go to one. I flew all the homies out there and Farrakhan put us right there on the stage with him, right front row and we learned something, we learned a lot. I advice if they ever get a chance to do something else like that, y’all go too.”
