Daily Dose of Protest: Powerless – Jesse Jett

From the artist’s Bandcamp

The prolific rapper, singer-songwriter, and poet recently released a video for “Powerless” a track off his latest album The Grift. He also released The Grift Home Companion, a spoken word album that further addresses the issues brought up on The Grift.

The lyrics address the variety of ways that the political establishment strives to make its citizens feel powerless. The video was produced by the Indie News Network, a collective of independent content creators who challenge the narratives perpetuated by mainstream media. The powerful visuals add to a powerful lyrical message.
