Cordae’s Label Releases 36% Of “RNP” To Prove A Point
According to the Census Bureau, only 36% of young voters between the ages of 18 and 29 voted in the 2018 midterm elections. Atlantic Records wants to push the other 64% to get out the vote in a couple of weeks, creatively encouraging people to head to the polls.
Despite mail-in voting hitting an all-time high in this election, Atlantic wants to make sure that everybody that is eligible to vote actually sends in their ballots.
With one of the most important elections in our time happening in just a few weeks, the record label has chopped up one of Cordae’s most popular music videos, “RNP” with Anderson .Paak, and they’re using it to prove that 36% is never enough.
Releasing only 36% of the music video on YouTube, the label writes: “Imagine if we did everything 36%. What would 36% of a video look like? You have to imagine no longer – we made this to show you. The world doesn’t work when we’re operating at 36%. Everyone needs to show up and vote in this election.”
The edit is pretty poignant, ending right before one of .Paak’s punchlines and skipping all the good parts. It’s a visual representation of what happens when we willingly don’t use our right to vote, and it works.

Henry Desira returns with renewed purpose on latest release “hopeful forever”
Henry Desira’s “Forever Hopeful” is a meaningful return to songwriting, a deeply personal release rooted in reflection, perseverance, and emotional honesty. Rather than sugar-coating life’s difficulties with simple optimism, the song embraces uncertainty and emphasizes the subtle resilience that enables us to carry on. It’s more than a return; it’s a creative renaissance after a difficult time away from music due to mental health issues.
“Forever Hopeful” is a heartfelt song. The song is about the fact that there is still hope even when things seem too big. Henry Desira doesn’t make life seem easy, but rather embraces the complexities of life and reminds the listener that difficult moments don’t negate the possibility of brighter days ahead. That balanced view gives the track a comforting authenticity, making its message of uplift feel earned rather than idealized.
Forever Hopeful is a creative return that packs a bigger emotional punch than its title suggests. It speaks to the courage it takes to start over, to find inspiration again, to transmute personal adversity into something of value. The song becomes a personal milestone and a hopeful reminder that healing is seldom immediate, but progress is possible. Henry Desira’s latest release hits deep for being vulnerable and resilient at the same time, an honest offering of hope that sticks around long after the music stops.
