Rapper Dee-1 has seen his fair share of people trying to make it

Hurricane Katrina changed his community forever in just a matter of

most precious rights – the right to VOTE. On the eve of #Barack Talk,
a State of the Union watch party and discussion event in Washington,
D.C., panelist Dee-1 recorded this video message to help spread the
word about why casting your ballot still matters: Chanzo ni mtandao wa allhiphop.com
