Brings an interesting question in regards to the line between free expression and the right against self incrimination.
The government didn't force them to record a confession of his crimes to music. I can appreciate the free expression portion, but not the self incrimination aspect. Baw told on himself, over and over again. He's like his own 6ix9ine.

Sure. They self snitched. It is an interesting question.
This issue has come up in Texas with rapper Tay K, who participated in a home invasion that results in a death.
Prosecutors reportedly played the music video for "The Race" was played in the Dallas courtroom Monday (July 22) and admitted a print-out of the lyrics as evidence for the jury. Prosecutors also used screenshots of the video as evidence, including shots of Tay-K holding a weapon and standing next to a “wanted poster."
They also used images from his social media accounts, including images of him pointing a gun at the camera, the cover artwork for his Living Like Larry EP (in which he's holding a gun), and a picture of him in jail.
In 2016, a then-16-year-old Tay-K and friends broke into Ethan Walker's home. Walker was shot and killed by Latharian Merritt, who was sentenced to life in prison last year. Tay-K was charged and placed on house arrest. He escaped and filmed "The Race" which ended up charting on Billboard.
He received a 55 year sentence.
