The Brexit Battle Rap (Leave or Remain?) by M.C. Caskey published on 2017-05-05T17:01:04Z This song delves into the Brexit debate, featuring soundbites from two individuals who I feel perfectly embody each side of the “Leave” and “Remain” debate, namely the British politician and Eurosceptic Nigel Farage (Leave) and former Prime Minster David Cameron (Remain). The song is set up as a rap battle between a supporter of the “Remain” side and a supporter of the “Leave” side. I loved writing this track, particularly because of how timely this issue is in terms of its economic and political relevance. Each side rigorously puts forth arguments supporting each position, as well as attacking the position of the other side. For example, the “Remain” rapper references that the UK would lose access to the Single Market and the free flow of capital, goods, services, and people, while the “Leave” rapper references that the EU has morphed into something entirely different from when the UK originally joined in 1973, infringing upon its state sovereignty.
