This is an awesome story!
According to Newsone.com, the rapper is running an unorthodox campaign for City Council. In a field of five candidates, he’s picked up support from the powerful Chicago Teachers Union.
Rhymefest named Che after the 1950s Cuban revolutionary Che Guevara has pledged to give up a portion of his salary for loans to bring business to the area and says he’ll only serve two four-year terms. His campaign headquarters are inside a dingy car wash surrounded by vacant lots, and some of his fundraisers have been held at nightclubs where he performs.
Here is what Rhymefest said-
“How can you walk here and not feel something in your heart? We’re living in an urban ghost town,” Che “Rhymefest” Smith told The Associated Press during a van tour of the ward where he lives. “I see two things. The first is neglect. The second is opportunity.”
