"Don't Shoot" is a single by American rapper The Game, features Rick Ross, 2 Chainz, Diddy, Fabolous, Wale, DJ Khaled, Swizz Beatz, Yo Gotti, Curren$y, Problem, King Pharoah and recording group TGT performing the chorus. The Game's daughter also joins in at the end but is uncredited. The song is a tribute to Michael Brown.[1]

Background

The song was released in the United States on August 27, 2014.[2] A number of other songs came out soon after the furor over the shooting of Michael Brown and perceived similar incidents, such as "Be Free" by J. Cole and "Black Rage" by Lauryn Hill. "Don't Shoot" mentions other black men killed under notorious circumstances, such as Emmett Till, Ezell Ford, Trayvon Martin, and Sean Bell.[3]
