Blueface Won’t Vote In 2020 Election: “I Ain’t In That Stage Of My Life Yet”

In approximately one month, America will learn who their 46th President of the United States will be. Election season has dragged throughout the last year and a half, but the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent quarantine have shifted how presidential campaigns have moved forward. At every turn, there is more news about the presidential election and it seems as if social media is playing a new, more controversial role in how information is being shared. Celebrities and political figures have tirelessly urged the American public to vote as many artists have even created politically-driven songs to help drive the message home. One person who has openly expressed his uninterest in the upcoming election is Blueface, and he is unapologetic about sharing that he doesn’t plan on voting.

When asked why, he answered, “I don’t know.” The hosts told Blueface that “this is a very important election,” however, he seemed uninterested. “I just ain’t really, I don’t know. I ain’t in that stage of my life yet.“

“Look at my face,” added Blueface. “You think they give a f*ck who I vote for?” Some have criticized the rapper for being irresponsible, but check out his clip below and let us know what you think about Blueface’s decision about voting in the upcoming election.

The Real Mack The Knife honors memory and spirit with soulful release “Rio Grande de Loíza”

The song “Rio Grande de Loíza” by The Real Mack The Knife is a powerful tribute to Puerto Rico’s history, memory, and sacred spirit. The track transforms nature into something spiritual, intimate, and timeless, inspired by the legendary river and Julia de Burgos’ immortal voice.

The song “Rio Grande de Loíza” has an old, alive vibe from the beginning. River water, moonlight, desire, and cultural memory shape a song that seems to rise from the ground. The Real Mack The Knife uses the river as a living, symbolic being, unlike the original work.

Julia de Burgos gives the piece incredible depth. She sees the river as a witness, a mother, a wound, a mirror, and a prayer throughout the song’s emotional landscape. The literary and spiritual connection gives the track a haunting beauty beyond music.
