YG Plans To Vote Kanye West For President
Kanye West truly shocked the world just a few days ago when he decided to announce, seemingly out of nowhere, that he would be running for President. Of course, his declaration was followed by a ton of inaction as it was revealed that he hasn’t even registered as a candidate. Clearly, Kanye was just getting his fans riled up on social media, but this didn’t stop others from debating what a Kanye presidency would look like. Many disavowed the concept of Ye running for President, while some have actually embraced it.
One of those who are willing to give West a chance is none other than YG. While speaking to Bootleg Kev and DJ Hed at Real 92.3, YG was asked about West and whether or not he would receive his vote. As YG explained, he is more than willing to vote for Kanye, although he hopes the community puts pressure on the artist to do right by his people.
YG was then made aware that Kanye won’t be able to run in a few states, which led to YG saying: “It’s all cap.” Based on his remarks, YG would prefer to vote for Kanye but if he’s not on the ballot, he will simply have to look elsewhere.
Perhaps Kanye will have to wait another four years before he really gives this whole President thing a real shot.

Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 makes a stand for afrobeat against corruption on latest release Na Dem feat. Tom Morello.
Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 deliver a powerful afrobeat statement with “Na Dem,” Featuring Tom Morello and produced by Femi Koleoso. The track has been a fan favourite even before its official release, and comes with the unmistakable spirit of protest, truth-telling, and social accountability that have long characterized Afrobeat’s most impactful moments.
The song’s heart is a direct challenge to corruption and the abuse of power. Instead of singling out one profession or institution for its critique, “Na Dem” identifies a larger culture of dishonesty, targeting bad lawyers, bad doctors, bad politicians, and anyone who would sell their integrity for personal gain. The message is sharp and uncompromising and delivered with the urgency that has become a hallmark of Seun Kuti’s artistry.
The inclusion of Tom Morello adds another level of intensity to the record. His presence adds to the song’s rebellious energy, creating a powerful intersection between the rhythmic activism of Afrobeat and the confrontational edge of rock. The result of the collaboration is a track that is both timeless and of the moment.
The song’s dedication to principle is what rings true. The moral center of the record is Seun’s statement that he would never prostitute his conscience for money. It turns “Na Dem” from a critique into a declaration of personal values, responsibility, and resistance.

Marsha Bartenetti reinvents in her own style “New York Minute”
Marsha Bartenetti’s latest release, “New York Minute,” written by Don Henley, Danny Kortchmar, and Jai Winding, offers emotional depth, turning a timeless look at life’s fragility into a reflective, cinematic journey. Stephan Oberhoff’s arrangement perfectly frames Bartenetti’s voice, and Kevin Bate’s expressive cello adds a warm resonance that makes the track feel like a movie.
The way each instrument sounds makes it feel planned, which lets the listener stay in the fleeting moments the song so beautifully describes. Bartenetti’s singing is the best part of the song. She shows an openness that feels real, as if she has lost something and still fully embraces love and presence with complete honesty. Her choice of words and small changes in tone make the lyrics feel even closer.
“New York Minute,” is a new version that pays tribute to the original while showcasing Bartenetti’s own style. The movie-like instruments and heartfelt vocals make the song feel both personal and universal. It makes us think about how hard it is to let go and hold on.
