I think I have a new term for this genre. Conserva-Rap. It sounds better than Conservative Rap, right? OK, I'm joking. But seriously... this trend of conservative influencers pairing up with anti-woke rappers is starting to heat up...
So yes, it's true, it appears that conservative influencer Benny Johnson has thrown his hat into the rap ring, announcing a forthcoming collaboration with MAGA rappers Forgiato Blow and Trump Latinos. The unexpected pairing has intrigued followers and critics alike, signaling a potential shift in how conservative influencers choose to communicate their messages beyond traditional mediums.
Benny Johnson's leap into rap follows closely on the heels of Ben Shapiro's surprising success with his feature on the Tom MacDonald track "Facts". Teaming up with Mr. Tom MacDonald, Ben Shapiro's venture into music has reached the pinnacle of success by claiming the number one spot on music charts. This success undoubtedly paved the way for other conservative figures like Johnson to explore creative collaborations and broaden their impact.
Forgiato Blow, known for his affiliation with MAGA rap, a sub-genre that is popular within conservative circles is an expert at combining right-wing political messaging with the rhythmic beats of hip-hop. Forgiato Blow's presence on this track hints at the growing popularity of this distinct fusion, allowing political figures to engage with a younger and diverse audience through music. Forgiato Blow is one of the biggest in the genre, and Trump Latinos is a more recent duo that also appears to be collaborating on this track.
The convergence of politics and music has proven to be a potent tool for political influencers to connect with a broader audience. While traditional methods of communication remain crucial, the addition of music allows these figures to tap into new demographics and express their views in a format that resonates with younger generations.
Benny Johnson's collaboration with MAGA rap marks a significant moment in the evolving relationship between culture and politics. Ben Shapiro and Tom MacDonald have lead the way in this regard to some extent. Who will be next? Which anti-woke artist would you like to see collaborate with a conservative influencer?
