Tuesday (November 6) marks the last day to cast midterm election ballots. Subsequently, numerous members of the Hip Hop community have taken to social media to encourage people to get to the polls and vote.
From Run The Jewels, Black Thought and Questlove to French Montana, Rihanna and Pharrell Williams, the number of notable artists, athletes and community figures who have vocalized the importance of voting is staggering.
Cut Chemist is even offering a special 45-minute mix — the “Midterm Mix” — as an extra incentive to get to the polls.

Some advice for people working 9-5 jobs who are worried about long inconvenient lines to vote due to polling rush hours: don't have that job. In fact, quit entirely. That way, u can stroll into your polling station at 2 PM and be out in 5 minutes like a boss. #TheMoreYouKnow
