Vote 4 Miss Angela Rap

A rap song by a 13-year-old has gotten an obscure Georgia candidate nationwide media attention.

An obscure candidate in a down-ticket Georgia race is getting some much-needed attention from a rap campaign song that pummels voters with a simple, mind-numbing lyric: “Vote 4 Miss Angela.” That’s Angela Moore, a 43-year-old medical personnel company owner making her first run for office in Georgia’s packed Democratic primary for secretary of state.

She was relatively unknown until her campaign rap, written and performed by a 12-year-old boy, began making the rounds on the Internet. It has received 26,000 hits in the three weeks since it’s been posted on her campaign Web site. “Even I get tired of hearing, ‘Vote for Miss Angela! Vote for Miss Angela!’” she said, referring to the song’s repetitive intro and chorus. “But, you know what? It sticks in your head.”

Moore asked now-13-year-old Keenan Mathews, who performs under the stage name Pootah, to record the song last year after she caught his act at a charity show in Atlanta. “Make the right choice/be heard with your voice,” he raps in the song, before rhyming “Miss Angela” with “sending out an SOS from here to Los Angeles.” The rap ends with a repeated chant of “Vote or die” â€” a line borrowed from a 2004 get-out-the-vote campaign lead by rap producer Sean “P. Diddy” Combs.

One wonders about young Pootah’s command of the campaign issues. The rap in question can be downloaded here.
