Bernie Sanders

Nation, Means, Democratic

Ingrid Newkirk

National, Animal, Middle

When you're from the East Coast or you're from the South, people expect you to sound a certain way. So if you don't sound that way, people won't label you as that type of artist. For me, I had a whole new lane to create for myself being from Pittsburgh and being a Midwest artist.
Wiz Khalifa

Whole, Artist, Won
