This name refers to the presumption of innocence in the United States and the difference in treatment between blacks and whites. An alleged innocent black man appearing before a court is not necessarily guilty but is necessarily an innocent criminal ...
Since his album Welcome to the Cruel World in 1994 Ben Harper has always accompanied the Virgin Records label of his own label Innocent Criminal.
But it is in 1997 on The Will to Live that one sees for the first time appear Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals.
