Bill de Blasio (born Warren Wilhelm, Jr., May 8, 1961, later renamed temporarily "Warren de Blasio-Wilhelm") is an American politician who is serving as the 109th mayor of New York City. From 2010 to 2013, he held the citywide office of New York City Public Advocate, serving as an ombudsman between the electorate and the city government. He formerly served as a New York City Council member, representing the 39th District in Brooklyn, which contains Borough Park, Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, Gowanus, Kensington, Park Slope, and Windsor Terrace. De Blasio, the Democratic Party nominee for mayor of New York City in the 2013 election, defeated Republican Joe Lhota with more than 73 percent of the vote. De Blasio is the first Democratic mayor of the city since David Dinkins was in office from 1990 to 1993.
He ran for mayor promising to end stop and frisk and heal bitter relations between the New York Police Department and many New Yorkers, especially African Americans. His tenure has seen a spike in anti-police protests and disaffection with law enforcement, and he has been charged by the NYPD union with putting the interests of protesters above those of the police. He initiated new de-escalation training for officers, reduced marijuana prosecutions, and oversaw the beginning of body cameras worn by police. De Blasio approved a $41 million settlement for the five men whose convictions in the 1989 Central Park jogger case were overturned and ended a post-9/11 surveillance program to spy on Muslim New Yorkers.
Mohammed Kasim Reed (born June 10, 1969) is an American attorney and politician who is the 59th and current mayor of Atlanta, Georgia's state capital and largest city.
A Democrat, Reed was a member of the Georgia House of Representatives from 1998 to 2002 and represented the 35th District in the Georgia State Senate from 2003 to 2009. He served as campaign manager for Shirley Franklin's successful Atlanta mayoral campaign in 2001. After Franklin was term limited from the mayor's office, Reed successfully ran for the position in 2009. Inaugurated on January 4, 2010, Reed was elected to a second term in 2013.
Reed was born in Plainfield, New Jersey, but his family moved to Fulton County, Georgia, when he was an infant. He was born and raised in a United Methodist household. His father had considered converting to Islam around the time the boy was born, during the early years of desegregation, and named his son Mohammed Kasim, to the consternation of his minister grandfather. Reed graduated from Fulton County's Utoy Springs Elementary School and Westwood High School, now Westlake High School.
I'm too pac and two spots the block is secured
Stacked up to a fiend me, I'm the one you should call
But shawty on tour, juicy couture over law
And the drough when it's fire bet I can talk em to fall
Rhymes spreaded, I said it with a style
Commerce you dealer, I gave em coke and a smile
From poverty, no cold, it was foul
Now they admire me, I've been broke in a while
Wild, can't be talking to me
After my show, I have to be forced in the van
Came to new york, christopher walken to me
Figgy and pumble, christopher's walking to me
Slick talking tatty, bare arms, from iran, hope you ready
Grave yam yankee fitty cap, fred the god and I came to brign the city back
[Hook]
You know I bees in the city
You drive v's to the city
We push keys to the city
Mayor minds hope give me the key to the city
Now rep your city, this is for the streets
Now rep your city, this is for the streets
Now rep your city, this is for the streets
Now turn up
New york life is lawless
I got the city turnt up like the stocks dumped on mike and harris
Works the purest, same color is
Girl here from school, she studyin the art of chow
Forget the vest I wear liff up
Tbm the best, they will clip em
Heard you got sour around, well we'll stick em
For that 7 pounds with the wesson I will smith em
7 pounds will smith, big bronx uptown and we still spit
We back flowin and y'all know I got lines around the block
Like the tunnel back open
Speaking of tunnel, you know the sun is span
Call me harry and turman cause I got tunnel vision
Blue yankee fitty cap, fred the god and I came to bring the city back
[Hook]
You know I bees in the city
You drive v's to the city
We push keys to the city
Mayor minds hope give me the key to the city
Now rep your city, this is for the streets
Now rep your city, this is for the streets
Now rep your city, this is for the streets
