The Geto Boys are hoping to rock the vote in Houston, encompassing District B-to-D.
Willie D is following in the footsteps fellow Geto Boys member Scarface by entering the race for Houston City Council spots. Née, William James Dennis, the rapper filed his registration papers on Thursday at the secretary’s fice in downtown Houston – thereby rendering him an ficial candidate in Houston’s District B among the 11 existing hopefuls.
As I mentioned, Scarface was first to enter his name, albeit in a different locale: Houston’s District D. In total, Houston’s electoral grid is composed 11 adjoining districts; together they make up the provisionals council that deputizes the needs and wants the H-Town populace.
“What’s better than one Geto Boy running for City Council? It’s on family!” wrote Willie D in the Instagram posting that marked his ficial entry amongst the candidates for District B. “This is the next step in my evolution to serve and I need your help!”
Below the posting, Scarface touched in the comments to congratulate his riding partner on making the jump. “Congrats Will!! What better way to make change in our community From it, it and love it!!” Scarface’s decision to enter politics was in no way informed by Bushwick Bill’s recent passing. Yet, without Bushwick Bill in the fold, the impetus to continue rapping grew stale, giving rise to their second arc as community activists, politicians.
