Zohran Mamdani Links Up With Wu-Tang Clan in Viral Social Media Video

Killer Mike uses music, influence and money to further his cause.

For the uninitiated, here's an entire music video about prejudice, also hinting at the growth of the prison industry

He also started a bank with the goal of lending money to minority-owned businesses and minorities in general

This song uses 'blame your crew quicker than Trump fucks his youngest' as an insult. Music video itself somewhat symbolizes the 2016 election year, which is even mentioned by Killer Mike (who of course thought Clinton would win regardless of whether it's an election or fist fight)

But of course one would also expect Wu-Tang Clan to be important in a mayoral race in NYC in particular.

Killer Mike is a pretty hardcore capitalist though. Not sure how he's going to vibe with a socialist.

And diversified stock portfolios apparently. Timeless advice from GZA we should all take to heart in these troubled times

Speaking as someone who lives in the US but is currently terrified of what's happening:

This gives a lot of people hope to see collaboration between a very public, very vocal progressive candidate; and a band with as much recognition and the kind of fanbase that Wu Tang has.

It means this is potentially lightning in a bottle. Given what's happening in the US right now, I think a lot of people might consider this uplifting, even though I agree it's a bit of a square peg round hole moment for this community at the moment.

It does promise something greater than the article lets on though.
