B.G. (Christopher Dorsey) is a pioneering rapper from New Orleans who helped define Southern hip-hop as a founding member of the Hot Boys. B.G. (Christopher Dorsey) has released his highly anticipated new album Freedom of Speech, now available on all major streaming platforms. Check out his latest music here. The album release coincides with the premiere of a companion documentary of the same name chronicling B.G.’s legal challenges since his September 2023 prison release. Available on YouTube, here.
Freedom of Speech marks B.G.’s triumphant return after serving 12.5 years in federal prison. The album boldly addresses the creative restrictions he now faces under supervised release conditions. In the accompanying documentary, which B.G. executive produced with Tracey Baltimore, he offers a raw, unfiltered look at his journey back to civilian life.
Critics are already praising the album’s impact. Vibe.com notes: “Bolstered by contributions by E-40, Boosie Badazz, Fiend, Fredo Bang and more, Freedom of Speech proves B.G. remains as lyrically formidable as he was before his lengthy sentence and that his flow hasn’t fell victim to the hands of time.” Hot New Hip Hop adds: “It’s not easy for rappers to come back and regain their groove after a prison bid, but B.G. pulled it off. Kudos.”
The title track “Freedom of Speech” confronts B.G.’s current reality with his signature raw storytelling: “I want to tell these stories, but I ain’t about to risk it. Say too much in these songs that sh*t gon land your ass in prison.”
The star-studded project features several notable collaborations, including reunions with Cash Money co-founder Bryan “Birdman” Williams on “First Question” and Hot Boys member Juvenile on “Go Live” featuring Boosie Badazz. Producer Scalez delivers an updated nostalgic sound on multiple standout tracks, including “Rock-A-Bye-Bye” and “Live From The Gutta” featuring E-40. The melodic “Thank You” featuring Derez Da’Shon adds emotional depth, showcasing B.G.’s range as both a social commentator and a vulnerable lyricist.
“Being an entertainer is the only career I’ve ever had, so I automatically hit the ground running,” says Dorsey. “This album is about my journey and the voice I bring to those who aren’t heard.”
Freedom of Speech is released on B.G.’s Choppa City label and distributed by Santa Anna Label Group.
B.G. is currently performing nationwide on a reunion tour with the legendary group the Hot Boys, featuring Lil Wayne, Juvenile, and Turk, alongside Birdman and Mannie Fresh.
