When Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama first announced his candidacy in February of ‘07, the platform he adopted was “Change is coming to America!”  Later that year, up-and-coming hip-hop duo Kidz in the Hall officially endorsed the Illinois senator’s presidential campaign, outspokenly supporting him through their music.  Now, several months later, MC Naledge and DJ/producer Double-O have joined up with Talib Kweli, who admits he normally doesn’t vote, but will now because he senses the fulfillment of Dr. King’s dream, and Bun B, who sees the chance to help solve problems with poverty, education, health care and prejudice in our justice system, for Work To Do Change (Remix).  Though plenty of our readers are anticipating the Kidz’ debut album, The In Crowd, on May 13, an even bigger event is the ‘08 presidential election on November 4.

This song first appeared on the Independent Chart on April 7, 2008

Very positive lyrics. Please feel this. Socially conscious knowledge is very much needed in music. Good work on this.

this is by far the best song featured today. I'm loving the beat. Hip Hop tells truth and is positive. Rap is a mess. Know the difference. I hope this gets major air play. And mk18769 please grow up. They are dropping some knowledge from the ordinary I got money, hoes, cars, houses.

I enjoy all types of hip-hop from the subconscious to the overt lyricism.

MJB as I don't understand the such-good-messages of songs (I'm not anglo-saxon) I concentrate on the music and the beat...and this is boring! There are better slow hip hop songs, for sure. I listen to hip hop mainly for the energic and catchy beats! We can open our ears, but often tastes don't fit in with ears...lyrics are important, they are fundamental, but more important for me are the beat and the melody.

i totally agree with you patty cake..lol..i am more of the type of person that will listen to the beat and melody before i even listen to lyrics..i just thought honestly you were one of the ones who like them catchy ringtone type rap songs from rappers that say mainly @*#$! the art lets get money type mentality..but i feel you tho..

I understand! Just wanted to explain...believe me I would be sooo glad to understand everything they say while rapping, but unfortunately I have to look for lyrics sites...and I can't do it for every song! It's a pity because in hip hop music lyrics are very important, that's why I listen to more "commercial", catchy beats. I tell myself "I can't understand what they say, but at least I dance and move myself to death" lol

I have always been a fan of KITH and Talib is one of my favorites. It's nice to see Bun in here and he fits in well. It's a great conscious hip-hop contribution that relates to now...
