Listen to these 10 tracks to help you this election day

Here are some tracks to consider this upcoming election and beyond:

 

1. “Talkin’ Bout a Revolution” by Tracy Chapman

This anthem is emblematic of embracing revolution echoed by Chapman’s soulful voice

 

2. “Freedom,” by Beyonce ft Kendrick Lamar

Beyonce’s vocals in this track are enough to justify this being on the playlist but her message of liberation is what cements it here.

 

3. “The Guillotine” by The Coup

I want to guillotine Jeff Bezos so bad. 

 

4. “Liberty” by Amnesty

This is the sample song that Kanye ruined in his track “Lift Yourself.” The vocals in this track are beautiful and accompanied by the theme of liberation. 

 

5. “I Hate the Capitalist System” by Barbara Dane

Presenting the wealth inequality gap! 

 

6. “Not Ready to Make Nice” by The Chicks

This is the track that essentially blacklisted The Chicks for speaking out against Bush’s push for the Iraq war, thus we need to up their streams for this masterpiece.

 

7. “Big Yellow Taxi” by Joni Mitchell

Mitchell’s most iconic song should be listened to by anyone still doubting climate change and it’s crushing effects on our environment.

 

8. “Crisis” by ANOHI

This is a song about United States imperialist backed drone strikes killing civilians overseas. 

 

9. “Womanarchist” by Bad Cop

Bad Cop: three minutes of women yelling about sexism? Yes, please. 

 

10. “Thanks, Bastards!” by Mischief Brew

A fun little thank you to the people in power!

 

Bonus Track: “FDT,” by YG: self-explanatory
