Killer Mike Details Kamala Harris Meeting

Rappers have been holding increasing sway over political parties, as evidenced by the recent narrative that sparked following Ice Cube’s meeting with the Republican party. And though it didn’t take long for the NWA legend to find himself castigated by a chorus of social-media naysayers, Cube maintained the CWBA was a bipartisan issue and stood by his decision. Now, Killer Mike — who himself has become a respected leader in the hip-hop community — has stepped up to break bread with Senator Kamala Harris, who is currently running as Joe Biden’s Vice Presidential candidate.

The Run The Jewels rapper and entrepreneur took to Twitter to provide a quick update on his meeting, sharing some of the main issues and points of concern. “Just had a meeting with Sen. Harris,” confirmed Mike, on the same day Harris confirmed she would be campaigning in Atlanta. “My points *Dems Need to be heavy on the door Knox’N, HR40 tweek it better and have Biden Sign, Fed Trades Programs for worker class Americans so u can build, Black men exit prison and entrance to marijuana biz as a priority for biz and jobs.”

“Also consigned her to a bunch of Spelman and Morehouse kids so they can know HBCU’s are a HUGE part of what makes this country great! I wish her well and our country as well,” he concludes, though it’s unclear as to whether he’s planning on officially endorsing Joe Biden for President. Either way, it’s great to see Mike continue to engage on a political level, as his voice and perspective have come to carry to carry much weight in the hip-hop community.

Check out some of his key points below, and perhaps we’ll see further details on their meeting in the near future.

François Marius and Bérénice creates a tender acoustic pop confession with “Billie Jean”

François Marius

François Marius’ latest release, “Billie Jean (Acoustic Version),” cuts to the quick and lets raw emotion take over. What you get, ultimately, is a personal pop experience that feels closer to a secret than to either a spoken-word show or a performance. The initial soft strum of an acoustic guitar creates a mood that is soft, sweet, and quietly interesting. It’s a full-throated, backbones-out piece, and every note is screaming its potential. It’s simple but riveting, and it proves that sometimes less is more.

François Marius and Bérénice’s voices sound right together, their voicings intermingle so naturally that they seem accidental or spontaneous, harmonies that emerge from nowhere. The way they speak to one another is very, I mean, they really love each other. That even makes the track seem like a conversation about feelings.

The two artists are clearly close. Romance and Eros are not just ideas, and they inhabit every note that lingers and every minuscule shift in tonality. The harmonies soar effortlessly over the acoustic foundation, a blend of sweetness and strength. It’s a sign of strength and also of a willingness to be hurt.

“Billie Jean (Acoustic Version)” is stripped of any fancy production or theatrical effects, it wins you over with its frankness and forthrightness. Sandy François Marius’s impersonation is fresh and real, endowed with depth and softness thanks to Bérénice’s presence, which definitely makes everything more perfect. This acoustic performance serves as a stark reminder of the elements that do connect people: the singer, his guitar, and a story from the heart.
