KANYE WEST WITH DRAKE
Free Larry Hoover Benefit Concert 2021 [no label, 2CD]
Live at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, Los Angeles, CA; December 9, 2021. Very good audio (ripped from HDTV broadcast).
Larry Hoover, 71, is a former American gang leader, co-founder of the Chicago street gang Gangster Disciples. Hoover is serving six life sentences at the ADX Florence prison in Florence, Colorado. He was sentenced to 200 years for a 1973 murder and, in 1997 (after a 17-year investigation of conspiracy, extortion, money laundering, and running a continuing criminal enterprise by leading the gang from state prison), he received a life sentence. Larry Hoover has stated he is no longer part of the Gangster Disciples.
Rapper and Chicago native Kanye West has, for many years, been vocal about wanting Hoover to be released from prison. West has taken significant action towards his goal of releasing Hoover from prison. On December 9, 2021, West, along with fellow rapper Drake, hosted a “Free Larry Hoover Benefit Concert” at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. The main goal of the concert was to bring awareness to Hoover’s case; West and Drake called for the release of Hoover and sought to raise awareness about prison and sentencing reform in the United States. Though West and Drake had previously been involved in an ongoing rivalry, they decided to put an end to their feud, and focus on putting their fame and influence to use by bringing awareness to Hoover’s case, by organizing the benefit concert. - wikipedia
