Pepperboy was a product of Arkansas’s hard streets, but as he achieved success in the music industry, his love for Memphis eventually led him to create “Pepperboy Music.” Watch as Pepperboy shares his story of becoming one of the area’s most iconic rappers.

Jerry Davie’s Story

When he met Bill Clinton, Jerry Davie was just a kid from the streets of Little Rock, Arkansas. He was only 13 years old at the time, but he knew he wanted to be president someday.

Davie grew up in a tough neighborhood and was often getting into trouble. During one of his court appearances, he first met Clinton, who was then the governor of Arkansas. Clinton took an interest in Davie and helped him turn his life around.

Davie eventually went on to attend college and law school. After graduation, he started working for the Clinton Foundation. When Hillary Clinton ran for president in 2016, Davie served as her Campaign manager in Arkansas.

It’s been a long road for Davie, but he’s never forgotten his roots. And now, he’s helping others from backgrounds like his own success.

The Hip-Hop Connection

Hip-hop and politics have always had a close relationship. Some of the earliest rap songs were about the harsh reality of living in urban areas, and many artists have used their platforms to speak out against social injustice. In recent years, hip-hop has become increasingly politicized, with artists using their music to raise awareness about issues like police brutality, racism, and poverty.

In the 2016 election, hip-hop played a significant role in getting young people involved in the political process. Artists like Kendrick Lamar and Chance the Rapper endorsed Hillary Clinton, and Beyonce held a get-out-the-vote concert for her on the eve of the election. On Election Day, exit polls showed that Clinton won 88% of the black vote, and hip-hop likely boosted turnout among this critical demographic.

Since then, hip-hop artists have continued to use their platform to address important issues. In 2018, Childish Gambino’s “This Is America” became an instant viral sensation for its powerful commentary on gun violence and racism in America. And this year, Kanye West made headlines for his outspoken support of Donald Trump (although he later backtracked).

Whether you love or hate hip-hop, there’s no denying that it has become one of the most powerful cultural forces in the world today. And as we head into another presidential election cycle, we’ll likely continue to see hip-hop playing him.

Lessons from the Streets

When it comes to politics, Pepperboy knows a thing or two. The young man from Little Rock, Arkansas, has been involved in local politics since he was a teenager and now works in the White House.

In an interview with Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club, Pepperboy talks about what he’s learned from his time in politics.

One of the most important lessons is that you have to be persistent. “You can’t give up,” Pepperboy says. “If you believe in something, you have to fight for it.”

He also stresses the importance of understanding both sides of an issue. “You have to be able to see both sides and where people are coming from,” he explains. “If you can do that, then you can find common ground and get things done.”

Lastly, Pepperboy says that being knowledgeable about the issues is key. “You have to know what you’re talking about,” he says. “If you don’t, people will see right through you.”

Pepperboy as an Adult

As an adult, Pepperboy continued his work as a community organizer in Little Rock. He also became involved in local politics, working on the campaigns of several candidates for city and state officials. In 2012, he was hired as a campaign staffer for then-President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign. After the election, he became a liaison between the White House and civil rights organizations. He also worked on President Obama’s task force on police reform.

In 2016, Pepperboy was tapped to be a senior advisor in Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. He served as a surrogate for the campaign, speaking at rallies and events across the country. After Clinton’s defeat, Pepperboy returned to his work as a community organizer in Little Rock.

In 2020, Pepperboy was again recruited to work on a presidential campaign, this time for Senator Kamala Harris. He is currently serving as her national youth director.

What Happens After You Hang Up the Phone and Runaway

You learn to expect the unexpected when you’ve been on the run as long as I have. That’s why, even though I was surprised when the phone rang in my hotel room late at night, I am preparing for anything.

I answered it and heard a familiar voice on the other end: “Pepperboy, this is the President.”

I couldn’t believe it. The President of the United States was calling me!

He told me he’d seen my blog and liked what I had to say. He said he wanted to offer me a job working in his administration.

I was speechless. This was precisely the kind of opportunity I’d been hoping for!

The President told me to come to Washington, D.C., and he would take care of everything else.

So that’s what I did. I hung up the phone and caught the first flight to D.C.

Now, I’m working in the White House and living my dream. It shows that anything is possible if you never give up on yourself!

P.S. If you’re thinking of running away, don’t do it! It’s not worth it. Trust me, I know from experience.
