This is incredible! So grateful for your leadership and that you never stopped fighting. Important question: can you drop a mixtape with Heems real quick before you get too busy with mayor stuff

as both an alum of the Village Voice and a former advisor to Greedhead Records (the label Das Racist used to be on), is that the reason Zohran volunteered for Ali is because he read an interview with Heems in the Voice that plugged Ali’s campaign. Zohran’s rap fandom indirectly led to this moment.

Himanshu Suri, a.k.a. Heems, played a role in the rise of the man who might be New York’s next mayor. He’s feeling hopeful — especially about what Mamdani’s ascent could mean for the working class.
