The upstart presidential candidate had a passion for beats and found inspiration in Slim Shady.
“That definitely got him notoriety with the class, for sure,” said Paul Davis, who met Ramaswamy at Harvard and is a longtime friend of the now-candidate.
For Ramaswamy, the dabbling in rap was an early indication of the kind of presidential candidate he would be — one who is experimental, outgoing and most comfortable in the spotlight. Since launching his campaign earlier this year, Ramaswamy has been an omnipresent figure, demonstrating an eagerness to appear on a wide and diverse range of media platforms, from podcasts to Twitter Spaces.
“He’s not one of these people that are super obsessed with reading the room. He’s someone who just kind of is who he is and kind of just goes at it full force, so I think the rap career is definitely indicative of that,” said Davis. “I think politics is a better vocation for him than rap, but it’s the same basic idea, which is his willingness to be all at it.”
