We’re less than a week away from electing our first Black female president of the United States or our first dictator in American history. With so much on the line for the Nov. 5 presidential election, some Hip-Hop artists have partnered up to encourage people to have their voices heard and go vote like their lives depend on it… because it does.
Looking to remind people about the importance of voting, Lil Scrappy, Mia X, Big Freedia, Lee Merritt, Cookie Nasty, and Trae Crockett have gotten together with the Hip Hop Caucus for a Political Rap Cypher to kick off the Respect My Vote Cypher. Truth be told, it couldn’t have come at a better time. With so many voters still unsure about who to vote for or whether to vote at all, these artists are taking the time to remind everyone about what’s at stake this election with some deep bars.
From civil rights to economic issues to environmental justice, these artists use their talents to break down why they’re voting in the coming election and why you should to.
We doubt Waka “MAGA” Flocka’s gonna wanna collaborate with any of these artists anytime soon. Just sayin’.
Check out the Respect My Vote Cypher below, and don’t forget to make your voices heard come Nov. 5 as it could very well be the last time you get the chance to should a certain Orange Overlord end up back in office (just look up Project 2025).
