If Hip-Hoppers Were Politicians: 12 Artists Who’d Reign in DC
Will.I.Am
Communications Director
It was two years ago that Will.I.Am released the wildly popular video ‘Yes We Can’ on YouTube, a song inspired by then-presidential candidate Obama’s speech ‘yes we can.’ Will.I.Am told Black Enterprise in 2008 that he is socially conscious about the things that occur in society, and understood that people were scarred about the direction of the country. Will.I.Am is skilled in conveying the messages of the public through music and video, thus making him a great fit for the role of Communications Director.
