This hard-hitting collaboration between two politically minded hip-hop artists was released on July 24 to correspond with the M4A Marches that took place on that day across 50 cities.
The tune powerfully highlights the failures of US healthcare and the need for reforms with lyrics such as “It’s CEOs and politicians poors are coming for. ‘Cause more than 30 million of us still are uninsured. Half a million of us lose it all to pay the bills. Each and every year, this is how Big Pharma kills. Plus the 30 thousand dead from no insurance.”
This is also not the first time that AWKWORD and Jesse Jett worked together. They previously have joined forces for the abolition anthem “Ten Demands”.
All proceeds from “Why We March” aid in funding a documentary on the healthcare crisis in America by filmmaker Kenny Ballentine.
