#MeekMill was granted unsecured bail by Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Tuesday after being sentenced two to four years in prison for violating his 10-year probation. This Wednesday, the rapper sat down once again with Dateline NBC’s Lester Holt, this time as a free man.

“This is a very important moment. This is a very important moment,” said Meek. He now says it’s his responsibility help Black men, and to shed light on our crooked and racist justice. “I got a lot of important people depending on me, and not talking about them people [public officials]. I’m talking about the men that’s depending on me going through the same thing that I’m going through.”

Mill spent his first night out of prison enjoying a Philadelphia’s 76ers playoff game but his mind didn’t stray away from the work he aspires to do. He then took to Twitter saying he plans to use his platform to “shed light” on how the justice system treats minorities.

Mill isn’t completely free just yet, the judge over the case has set a trial hearing for June for which Meek’s original charges could be dropped or a new trial could be requested. Meek said in his Wednesday interview, “No I don’t feel free,” Mill told Holt on Wednesday. “I ain’t feel free since I caught this case at the age of 19.”
