Following in the footsteps of their hip-hop forebears including Diddy, whose Vote Or Die campaign galvanized young voters around the 2004 presidential election, Atlanta rappers Young Thug and Rich Homie Quan will rally the voting-eligible youth of Atlanta tonight at 8 p.m. with a free concert at The Tabernacle.
Sponsored by Rock the Vote, the #TurnOutForWhat show is open to Georgians over the age of 18. Concert-goers can register for tickets at TurnOutForWhat.com and must pick up physical tickets before entering the venue. Guests will be admitted on a first come, first served basis. Admission will not be permitted after the venue reaches capacity.
In a press release, Young Thug said he got involved with Rock the Vote after realizing some voter registration forms had gone missing in Georgia.
"Like too many others, I wasn't paying attention and missed the voter registration deadline, but I’m not sitting out this election," Thug said in the press release. "I'm all in – and I'm happy to be working with Rock the Vote to remind young people to vote on Nov. 4."
