Slug and Brother Ali appear in a new video released to help get out the vote in Minneapolis on Nov. 7. The video is a promotion for the new website thisismpls.com, which is a voter guide created as a collaboration among Rhymesayers, Ashley Fairbanks, Pollen Midwest, Voices for Racial Justice, and Parks and Power.

The website helps Minneapolis voters figure out what ward they're in and what candidates are running in their ward. The website cycles through a playlist of Rhymesayers songs, like "Special Effects" by Brother Ali featuring deM atlaS.

Rhymesayers, a Minneapolis-based hip-hop label with large national following, has been putting a lot of energy into encouraging voting. In March Slug and deM atlaS appeared in a different video encouraging fans to get out and caucus.

In the past, Rhymesayers artists have also participated in Keith Ellison's Get Out the Vote events at First Avenue.

On Nov. 7, Minneapolis voters will be casting ballots for their elected city officials: mayor, council members, and members of the Park Board and the Board of Estimate and Taxation.
