The powerful anthem features a guest verse from fellow Maryland hip-hop artist Oddisee and backing vocals from Resonate Baltimore, a Baltimore-area children\u2019s choir, adding a powerful layer of local authenticity to the track and marking a poignant homecoming for the Maryland native.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cPipeline\u201d serves as the centerpiece of the \u201cStop the Iron Pipeline\u201d initiative, launched by Maryland-based health system LifeBridge Health to raise awareness and inspire action around trafficking of illegal guns into Maryland and the impact of gun violence on individuals and communities. Traffickers bring these guns in from other states along Route I-95 \u2013 a major north-south corridor through the East Coast states known as the \u201cIron Pipeline.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><iframe title=\"Pipeline\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8lrSzA4Ur2U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe title=\"Pipeline\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8lrSzA4Ur2U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cGrowing up in Maryland, I saw how gun violence tears apart families and communities\u2014it\u2019s an issue that hits close to home and feels deeply personal to me,\u201d says Logic. \u201cI contributed to this powerful project in the way I know best\u2014through music and lyrics\u2014telling the story of The Iron Pipeline and the impact it has.

More emphasis is placed on the outcome of the combination than the cause when discussing how the two continue to impact our communities. Maryland ranks among the top states for trafficked guns. The Iron Pipeline initiative seeks to support legislation that could address the underlying issue at the root of the problem.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cI\u2019m privileged to have collaborated with Logic to produce a piece of art to aid the cause,\u201d concludes Oddisee.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Sydney Ferleger, president of The Music Playground, which oversaw music supervision and video production, adds, \u201cFrom the outset, we knew Logic was the ideal artist to champion this cause-his artistry and dedication to addressing critical social issues brought unparalleled depth and authenticity to the project.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cThrough the powerful connection of music, we saw a way to engage and energize people to join our effort to Stop the Iron Pipeline. We hope this movement can help community members come together, raise our voices and address the public health crisis of gun violence,\u201d says Neil Meltzer, president and CEO of LifeBridge Health.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Additional background on the \u201cwhy\u201d behind Stop the Iron Pipeline: Firearms are the leading cause of death for kids and teens, according to Department of Health and Human Services. Maryland has among the nation\u2019s highest rate of out-of-state illegal gun imports, accounting for two-thirds of all gun crimes in the state, according to the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence. Research from the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health published in 2024 in JAMA Network Open concluded that \u201cinterstate gun transfers are a major contributor to gun crime, injury and death in the United States,\u201d and in June 2024, the surgeon general declared firearm violence to be a public health crisis. In LifeBridge Health\u2019s 2024 community health needs assessment, respondents named gun violence, neighborhood safety and gun safety among their top health-related concerns.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt Hip Hop Magizine News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"9431463036\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Logic has released \u201cPipeline,\u201d a groundbreaking new track that confronts one of America\u2019s most pressing issues \u2013 gun violence and<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[60],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2574","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 -
