“On a very personal level, I want to thank each of you for fulfilling a lifelong dream to serve in the U.S Senate.

We have work to do in this state.

Thank you all, god bless you.”

Following Tuesday’s (December 12) special election vote in Alabama, a majority of those in the Hip Hop community celebrated after Democrat Doug Jones’ win over and Republican (and accused child molester) Roy Moore for a U.S. Senate seat.

The 49.9% vs. 48.4% win in the typically deep red state specifically drew plenty of response from rappers in the Southeast.

Atlanta rapper Killer Mike, known for his political activism, celebrated the win, but also made it known that Democrats need to put in work for black people.

Other reactions came from El-P, 2 Chainz, Big Boi and T.I. and more.
