Jay Bala is running for a seat in the Maryland State Senate, representing District 28 which covers Waldorf, MD.

The National Visionary Leadership Project (NVLP) is the premier resource for oral history interviews with African American elders who shaped the 20th century. Recently, they sat down with former Sen. Edward Brooke to discuss his life in the Republican Party.

Recently, Travis Johnson owner of the centrist blog “Republicans United” sat down with Jim Dipeso Vice President of the group “Republicans for Environmental Protection” to conduct an interview about the goals of REP and where the organization was heading in the near future.

Jim DiPeso is the kind of Republican you don’t hear about in the newspapers everyday. He’s the Vice President for Policy & Communication of the Republicans for Environmental Protection, an organization formed in 1995 to restore the Republican tradition of environmental conservation. In an era when folks like Senator Jim Inhofe get headlines for Republicans by calling climate change “the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people”, it’s refreshing to see there are Republicans out there who remember the first two syllables of the word “conservative.”

Hip-hop artists like Will.I.Am. were on the campaign trail with Barrack Obama from the beginning. After his election, Young Jeezy released the voracious “My President is Black”, a bombastic track that aspired to be the new black anthem and seemed to imply a melding between Hip-Hop culture and mainstream society. On the night of the inauguration, Barrack Obama was showered in praises, blessings, and performances dedicated in his honor by powerful hip-hop luminaries like Jay-Z and Kanye West. Can you imagine the Juice Crew dedicating a rendition of “The Symphony” at the inauguration of Jesse Jackson in 88′? More likely it would have been The Four Tops or The Temptations.

It certainly wouldn’t have been Gil Scott Heron.

HipHopRepublican.com recently sat down with Sophia Davis for an excusive interview. Sophia, is a 23 years old Capitol Hill staffer for Senator George V. Voinovich.

Recently, Angela Severiano of HHR Blog sat down with UMA Award-winner Nathan to talk about his life and future plans. Nathan told HipHopRepublican.com about the distinctions between a hit in his genre in the UK versus the US. “I think the main ingredient for a hit in the UK is to have song that everyone can sing along to.”

At long last someone had the temerity, or is it courage, to tell the truth about Walter Cronkite. Writing for his blog, the redoubtable Cliff Kincaid, notes that the “voice of God” – as Mara Liasson referred to him – embodied every liberal and radical idea on the political waterfront and to some degree, had had a baneful effect on the news and public opinion.

Lenny McAllister, a leading Hip Hop Republican and author of a “Diary of a Mad Black PYC (Proud Young Conservative)” is at the center of a vicious domestic violence dispute. His ex-wife, Richelle McAllister attacked her boyfriend with a hammer.

HHR Blog recently sat down to do an interview with DJ Stacy Stylez New York City’s leading female club DJ. Her fun mixes of Hip Hop, Old Skool Hip Hop, 80’s pop and rock always keeps the crowd happy.

Stacy is known to “bring the crowd and keep them there”. Don’t be surprised if she takes out her light up tambourine during a set, or if she dances right along with you from the DJ booth. Stacy knows her music very well and has a keen sense on reading the crowd.

Brandon Brice is a community organizer and an active Republican in Harlem. Republicans  working in the black community is not generally a normal concept. Self-empowerment, financial success and small government are words usually associated with the Republican Party, but not community involvement.  Brandon,  however, shows that Republicanism and community work are not mutual exclusive.

Why are you in  Harlem?  You have a Bachelor’s degree from Howard University, worked for the United Nations as well as corporate America, so why drop the larger salary to work in the community?
I’ve lived in Harlem for five years now and seen a lot.  People, …
