On the opening track from his sophomore record Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight, Travis enlists the help of the elusive André 3000 to wax lyrical about their respective neighborhoods; which also lends the song its name.
Andre 3000 raps the second verse during which he reflects on the ill-famed 1979-1981 Atlanta kid Murders and the way he still struggles with survivor’s guilt decades later.
Over the biennial amount, roughly twenty-nine African-American youngsters, teenagers, and young adults were kidnaped and dead in Atlanta. Wayne Williams, associate Atlanta native was in remission and condemned for 2 of the murders in 1982. once his conviction the Atlanta local department declared that Williams was answerable for a minimum of twenty-three of the twenty-nine Atlanta murders, although Williams continues to take care of his innocence.
André antecedently documented the ill-famed killings on Goodie Mob’s food track “Thought method,” once he rapped, “Thought Process,” when he rapped, “The only thing we feared was Williams, Wayne.”
