In their latest single, “If It’s Not Too Much Trouble (You’re Going to Jail),” WHITE COLLAR PRISON dives deep into the world of white-collar crime and its often overlooked consequences. This dynamic duo, composed of Gregory James Jenkins and Neil Garguilo, is known for their sharp social commentary and satirical approach to music. Their new release continues this tradition, offering a compelling narrative that challenges the privileges and injustices within the American justice system.
The song follows the downfall of Congressman Richard Dutch, a character based on real-life white-collar criminals. Dutch’s journey, from accepting bribes to forging sales, highlights the disparity in how justice is served to society’s elite. The lyrics, penned by Garguilo, and the music, composed by Jenkins, provide a biting commentary on the inherent flaws and inequalities in our legal system.
“We wanted to shine a light on the double standards and entitlement that often shield white-collar criminals from facing real consequences,” says Garguilo. “Through our music, we hope to provoke conversations about accountability and fairness in our justice system.”
Set against a backdrop of catchy melodies and infectious rhythms, “If It’s Not Too Much Trouble (You’re Going to Jail)” delivers a powerful message wrapped in an engaging package. The track features an ensemble cast of talented vocalists, including Lucas Grabeel, Alex Lewis, Mary Birdsong, Epic Lloyd, and Rob Cantor. Their performances bring the story to life, adding depth and nuance to the already-incisive lyrics.
“The song is a bold statement that challenges the status quo and pushes boundaries,” adds Jenkins. “We’re not just making music; we’re sparking conversations and calling for change.”
The accompanying music video enhances the song’s message, using visual storytelling to depict the rise and fall of Congressman Dutch. The video combines satirical humor with stark reality, reinforcing the song’s critique of the justice system.
This release marks an exciting new chapter for WHITE COLLAR PRISON. As they prepare to launch their full album, fans can expect more of the irreverent humor and insightful commentary that set them apart in the music world. The duo’s unique blend of music and satire offers a fresh perspective on societal issues, inviting listeners to reflect on the world around them.
