Reactions in the hip-hop community regarding the Sean Bell verdict have been pretty unanimous: outrage, sadness, and hopelessness prevail. Many songs were released last week and more are expected in the coming days. Jay-Z, on his part, decided to set up a trust fund for Sean Bell’s daughters Jada, 5, and Jordan, 1, to mature when they become adults. Earlier this year, an ad from his “I Will Not Lose” Rocawear campaign featured Bell’s wife, Nicole Paultre Bell, and the two little girls. The process of setting up the fund began before the verdict of the trial acquitted all three police officers of all charges. [NY Times]
