Ben Carson Rap Radio Ad Debuts in Atlanta

The 60-second ad aimed at young black voters began airing Friday morning in Atlanta and eight other cities.

Leading in the polls, GOP White House hopeful Dr. Ben Carson’s new campaign ad made its debut Friday morning on metro Atlanta airwaves.

The Peach Pundit political blog reports the ad is aimed at young black voters, and features rap music recorded by Aspiring Mogul, the stage name of Robert Donaldson of Savannah.

It’s a break from Carson’s typically broad campaign advertisements, catering to Christians, younger families and women older than 40.
