Chris Classic stops by to talk about changing the narrative on the controversial and racist ad released by H&M displaying a black boy wearing a green hoodie with the words "Coolest Monkey In The Jungle." Chris Classic writes on his viral Instagram post: "I made this because I dont wanna see this young Kings face anymore with the shirt he was hired to wear by H&M. I'm almost certain the Persson Family and their $31 Billion wont care in Sweden but... this lil guy will see his pics and the mockery one day because the internet doesnt erase... so I just hope he gets to see this one or any like it that celebrate him. #mysavoirfaire" Source: https://www.instagram.com/p/BdsFaDoA2Yq Watch the music video for "Coolest Monkey In The Jungle" from Chris Classic here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yx4irKckMY
