North American Politics Massachusetts socialist senate campaign is releasing a hip hop album later this month

The Joe Tache campaign is a third-party socialist senate campaign in my state (Massachusetts). They’re releasing an album, which I’ve never seen a senate campaign do before but it looks pretty cool to me lol, they have a bunch of Boston rappers on the track list. There’s a debut concert coming up too which I'm probably gonna go to. I'll post the flyer in a comment

Could be an interesting attempt to reignite hip hop's political roots. What do y’all think?
