NY Daily News -Expressing
frustration that urban issues are not being sufficiently addressed in
New York, members of the hip hop community are looking to form their own
party line for the coming state elections.The
line, which would be called the New American Party, is being pushed by
Jineea Butler, founder of the Hip Hop Union and a Republican
congressional candidate against Rep. Adriano Espaillat (D-Manhattan).Butler
said she and others have spoken to rap star Busta Rhymes about
potentially running for governor on the line, but he has not committed.
Butler said she also has reached out to LL Cool J, but has not heard
back.
