Hip-hop’s roots in political expression began in the 1980’s with groups like Public Enemy with “Fight the Power” and NWA. Artists like these have historically used their lyrics to call government officials, law enforcement and others to task while raising issues in their communities. But as times have evolved, so too has artists’ messaging and potential impact. Does hip-hop still significantly impact politics, particularly this year’s presidential race? In this week’s Stay Tuned, we’ll explore how artists like Common, Megan Thee Stallion and Kodak Black could have an impact on the 2024 election.
