The Boy Illinois - PTSD (Post Traumatic Slave Disorder) ft. J. Ivy

The Boy Illinois drops an introspective message addressing Chicago’s local climate and talks about mental health in black communities with new video “PTSD,” (Post Traumatic Slave Disorder).

The song title derives from the book “Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome” by Joy
Degruy who addresses “the residual impacts of generations of slavery and
opens up the discussion of how the black community can use the strengths we have gained in the past to heal in the present.” Shot and directed by DGainz, PTSD visual displays a melancholy perspective of the hood, showing the harsh realities within the lives of urban communities of America. With the wise spoken words of J. Ivy backing The Boy Illinois, the dynamic duo gives you a clear lesson of the past, present and future.
