What happens when celebrated slam poet, songwriter and rapper IN-Q turns his attention to the current political scene? A lyrical slicing and dicing of Donald Trump without ever saying the candidate's name.

In a stripped-down, black-and-white video released Thursday, the spoken-word artist says he's not only voting for his politician of choice, he's voting against her opponent. "This is the most important vote I'll ever cast/At least I'll have a clean conscience when my grandchildren ask," he says in the short film from Los Angeles ad agency Audience X.

Its launch aims to amp up the visibility of National Voter Registration Day next Tuesday and reach out to new potential voters, particularly millennials.
