Casii Stephan’s “Law & Order” Tackles Racism and Justice With Crys Matthews and Jay Burgess
Tulsa singer-songwriter Casii Stephan has returned to the music scene with her new single, “Law & Order,” featuring who has already been hailed as “the next Woody Guthrie,” Crys Matthews, and acclaimed producer and musician Jay Burgess. Together, they create a deeply resonant song that addresses the widespread issues of racism and polarizing politics in America, particularly in the South.
“We say we've progressed, and in many ways we have. At the same time, racial slurs shouted from cars and pickup trucks just because they can isn't abnormal. And that's not even getting into how our justice system is skewed, bent, and twisted. It seems we keep singing the same song in new ways over and over again”, Casii Stephan said.
The song directly addresses cities like Alabama, Oklahoma, Tulsa, Tennessee, and Nashville located in the southern United States, and invites its citizens to step forward to save democracy and restore southern values, while repeating that the song to injustice is sung over and over again.
“Law & Order” began its journey in 2021, inspired by Casii's reflections on the unique political climate of the South, where overt racism persists. With the addition of Jay and Crys, the song was expanded to reflect a broader spectrum of experiences and struggles for racial justice.
The voice of Casii soars on this track, carrying the weight of frustration and hope, while Crys brings raw, unapologetic energy as a proud Black woman and LGBTQ+ activist.
The song’s power comes from its message and its collaborators. Firstly, Crys Matthews is one of the brightest stars of the new generation of musicians committed to social justice.
On the other hand, there is the acclaimed producer, guitarist, and singer Jay Burgess, who, with his enormous experience and career, has made a fundamental contribution to the song.
“Law & Order” is a powerful reminder that, despite progress, the fight for justice is far from over, and through music, artists like Casii Stephan are helping to amplify the voices of change.
