In mecca of hip-hop, rappers rally for Georgia Democrats ahead of Senate runoffs
ABCNews Following President-elect Joe Biden s 2020 win against President Donald Trump, many hip-hop artists are turning their focus to the high-stakes Georgia Senate runoffs, where Democrats are running to unseat two Republican incumbent senators.
