Paperboy Love Prince is a far cry from your typical New York City mayoral candidate. They can often be found in Washington Square Park standing on top of a bedazzled school bus rapping about social issues. When they announced their run for mayor, many laughed them off as a joke candidate.

However, as their campaign started to heat up, their viral tactics garnered momentum with write ups in Rolling Stone and a feature on The Trevor Noah Show. Can Paperboy act as a nexus between the people who wouldn’t ordinarily engage in politics and a platform that serves them?
