16 00026 Camden’s Yungest Legend test
Description
Over the weekend, 17 year old Camden, NJ native Yung Poppa released his latest single "I Got the Keys Freestyle". The song is a banging anthem for the living and lost, youth and entrepreneurs. In the song, he touches onpolitics, community, and fashion. Listen here. The song prominently displays the key and city silhouette logo of grassroots community organization CANDO.Camden African Neighborhood Development Organization, founded by Anthony "Mancakes" Ways is central to the song. CANDO sponsors athletic games throughout the year to build community, reduce violence, and provide a space for leaders to plan the next steps. In a city with a reputation for its violence and poverty, the freestyle smacks away the cliche incomplete narrative and offers a deeper view into the challenges of the community. Whatever the solutions are, it is people like Ways and Poppa have the keys to it. In "I Got the Keys Freestyle", Yung Poppa is unrelenting. Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, gang bangers, and corrupt politicians all get called out from someone that was to young to vote in 2016, but old enough to know how to use his voice in ways that almost no politician can. In the video, you hear former presidential candidate say one of the phrases that kept some young people home on election day. He rejects the idea of voting just for the sake of it, while embracing the idea of supporting his community. Yung Poppa's father, Rashaan Hornsby is Yung Poppa's manager. Hornsby serves as a coach, mentor, and businessman to his family and the entire Camden community. Yung Poppa has rapped since he was nine years old. The honor roll student will continue to a voice for the voiceless. Lyrics
