That Boosie Badazz is free is astonishing. Knowing full well how fundamentally racist the criminal justice system can be (especially in Louisiana, especially at Angola), a free Torrence Hatch is the most unlikely Torrence Hatch. Yet that's exactly what we have; since March of last year, the artist formerly known as Lil Boosie, the one chiseled into Baton Rouge's very DNA has been free and making some of the best music of his career. Now, a WorldStar Hip Hop documentary aims to chronicle what it was like for the rapper and father to readjust to life on the outside, as he launched headlong into a never-ending tour and sessions for his new album, Touchdown 2 Cause Hell. The first installment of the project is available to stream now.

In addition to the film, Boosie has been granting candid interviews, like the one he recently gave to GlobalGrindTV. There, the "Set It Off" rapper spoke at lengths about his time in prison (where he says he was made to pick cotton) and the absurdity of his cellmates' convictions. He also spoke about why he reached out to 50 Cent for advice on making a movie about his life. "It’s my life," he said. "I want people to see it. I just feel like so many people will understand when they see it, so I’m definitely going to theaters with it.”
