The senseless death of Tyre Nichols at the hands of police officers in Memphis, Tennessee, has sparked a national outcry for change. In response to this horrific injustice, Georgia lawmakers have reintroduced legislation that seeks to increase police accountability and provide greater transparency into their operations.
The legislation comes after Nichols, a 27-year-old Black man Tyre Nichols, was fatally shot by police in February. His death sparked protests and calls for reform from activists and community members. The proposed reforms would help to build trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve, and make sure that everyone is held accountable for their actions.
This tragedy led to the reintroduction of police accountability legislation in Georgia. The bill, which has been dubbed the “Tyre’s Law,” would require law enforcement officers to wear body cameras and have them turned on during all interactions with the public. It would also establish an independent review board to investigate officer-involved shootings.
The bill has been met with some opposition from law enforcement groups, who argue that it could make it harder for officers to do their jobs effectively. However, supporters say that these reforms are necessary in order to build trust between police and the communities.
The family of Tyre Nichols King has advocated for these reforms, as well as for the passage of a law that would make it a crime for officers to turn off their body cameras. They believe that these reforms will help to prevent future tragedies and hold officers accountable for their actions.
However, these reforms face significant challenges in passing into law. The Georgia Fraternal Order of Police has come out against the proposed reforms, and many lawmakers are resistant to making changes to the state’s laws on policing. With opposition from both law enforcement and some legislators, it will be difficult to get these reforms passed into law.

I am pleased to announce that Clavish released his latest work, Rap Game Awful, back in January. Rap Game Awful includes 28 songs as well as guest features from artists such as Fredo, Kaash Paige, D-Block Europe, Youngs Teflon, Tiggs Da Author, Tiny Boost, and MoStack. In addition to the success of the project critically and commercially, it debuted as the fourth best-selling album in the U.K., on the Official Albums chart.
It was on Sunday (Feb. 12) that the talented young rapper from North London released a new visual for a track off the aforementioned project titled, “B22 Money.” Written and produced by HD Beats, the track underscores the way in which money and fame have exacerbated the rapper’s freewheeling lifestyle.
The accompanying video clip is directed by Toxic and shows Clavish in the expansive living room of his home. The audience will be able to see him serving his bars from various spots within, including on a spiral staircase and in an entertainment room in which he can be seen delivering them.
In 2018, Clavish continued to make waves with the release of “All These Funds” and followed it with viral singles such as “Ketchup & Salad Cream,” “100mph Freestyle,” “Again,” “Could’ve,” “Welcome to the Trenches,” and “No Cap.” The following year, in 2021, Clavish released his debut EP, 2022, which consisted of five tracks and contributed parts from Nick French, Hoskins, Droski, Chucks, Nadda 3lackOnDaBeat, and more. In addition to his own music, the rapper from the hit single “Like This” can also be heard on other tracks like Kawali “Let It Rip (Remix),” Fredo “Mind,” Nines “All Stars 2,” and Stay Flee Get Lizzy “Lately.”
