Rapper Nas has teamed up with OurTime.org to film his first voting PSA.  In the video, he talks about why he votes and why he loves the power:

"The future of this country is in the hands of the young people. We have the power, we can go to the polls in droves and vote to get the person we want. As a voter, now that I voted, I feel so much power that I didn't feel before. Like, what I say matters."

OurTime.org is a non-partisan, non-profit, youth empowerment organization that is currently registering people to vote.
