But in November, Boosie announced that he was suffering from kidney cancer. It was a stark, almost unbelievable turn of bad luck for a man who has been under the thumb of racist and corrupt law enforcement and judicial systems for much of his adult life.
As always, Boosie marries an unsettling realism to undying optimism; the record is one of the most engrossing listens from thus far. The visit was less about his music, but more a message about diabetes awareness. The musician has been living with diabetes for several years.
Lil Boosie is also a kidney cancer survivor. Diabetes is a topic the rapper often talks about in his controversial lyrics.
