San Francisco rapper and business owner Chino Yang has released a new song that criticizes the city’s leadership over the rising crime and homelessness. The song, titled “Zombie Land”, is a diss track aimed at Mayor London Breed and other city officials who Yang blames for the deteriorating conditions of the city.
The Song’s Message
In the song, Yang raps about how the city has become a “zombie land” where people are afraid to walk on the streets because of the rampant drug use, theft, and violence. He accuses Mayor Breed of being corrupt and incompetent, and of ignoring the needs of the residents and businesses. He also calls out the district attorney, the police chief, and the board of supervisors for their roles in the city’s decline.
Yang also references some of the recent incidents that have made national headlines, such as the smashing of luxury store windows, the shooting of a 6-year-old girl, and the robbery of a TV news crew. He says that these events are a result of the city’s failed policies and lack of enforcement.
The Song’s Background
Yang is not only a rapper, but also a business owner who runs a clothing store and a restaurant in Chinatown. He says that he has witnessed firsthand the impact of the city’s problems on his community and his livelihood. He says that he has lost customers, revenue, and employees due to the unsafe and unsanitary environment. He says that he has also been a victim of crime himself, having his car broken into and his store vandalized.
Yang says that he decided to make the song after he saw no improvement in the city’s situation despite his efforts to reach out to the city officials and voice his concerns. He says that he felt frustrated and hopeless, and that he wanted to express his feelings through music. He says that he hopes that his song will inspire other people to speak up and demand change from the city’s leaders.
The Song’s Reception
The song, which was released on YouTube on December 19, 2023, has already garnered over 100,000 views and thousands of comments. Many of the viewers have praised Yang for his courage and honesty, and have agreed with his message. Some of the comments include:
- “This song is fire! Chino Yang is speaking the truth and exposing the corruption of the mayor and the city officials. They need to be held accountable for ruining our beautiful city.”
- “Thank you Chino Yang for standing up for us and our city. You are a hero and a leader. We need more people like you to fight for our rights and our safety.”
- “This song is a wake-up call for the people of San Francisco. We need to take back our city from the zombies and the crooks. We need to vote them out and elect new leaders who actually care about us and our city.”
However, not everyone has been supportive of Yang and his song. Some of the viewers have criticized Yang for being disrespectful and divisive, and have defended Mayor Breed and her administration. Some of the comments include:
- “This song is trash! Chino Yang is a hater and a troublemaker. He is spreading lies and propaganda about the mayor and the city officials. They are doing their best to help the city and the people.”
- “How dare Chino Yang insult our mayor and our city. He is a disgrace and a traitor. He should be ashamed of himself and his song. He should leave the city and never come back.”
- “This song is a distraction and a diversion from the real issues and solutions. Chino Yang is not helping the city, he is hurting it. He is creating more conflict and division among the people. He should stop making music and start making a positive difference.”
Mayor Breed has not yet responded to the song or to Yang’s allegations. However, she has previously stated that she is committed to addressing the city’s challenges and improving the quality of life for all residents. She has also announced several initiatives and programs to combat crime, homelessness, and other issues.
