Trump or Harris? How hip-hop could decide

Hip-hop’s roots in political expression began in the 1980’s with groups like Public Enemy with “Fight the Power” and NWA.

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.
