A pair of Houston rap legends are teaming up to “Swang the Vote” in Houston.⁠
⁠
Lil’ Keke and Lil’ Flip will headline a free concert in Third Ward to increase early voting turnout in marginalized communities. In a statement, Ollie Reed, the event organizer said Swang the Vote “is a line extension of the Houston culture of swanging and banging music and car culture.”⁠
⁠
Lil Keke is best-known for his 1998 Houston anthem “Southside.” Lil’ Flip broke through a few years later in 2004 with the songs “Game Over (Flip)” and “Sunshine.” Both have continued to rep Houston in and outside the city limits.⁠
⁠
The event is produced by local nonprofits Surmount Youth Center and Bridges to Empowerment. They will be on site providing sample ballots, polling locations and more. It’s scheduled for 6 p.m. Oct. 24 at Bar 5015.⁠
