The single, his first of the year so far, touches on themes such as police brutality, racism and activism in a quick flow.

The song shares its name with the 2012 drama by Damon Russell. The film follows the exploits of a drug dealer named Curtis Snow in the Atlanta neighborhood called The Bluff, which is infamous for its high crime.
