Adams handing Funk Flex the Key to the City proves he gets what makes New York tick—honoring hip-hop legends who built the culture Mamdani’s crew tries to co-opt then corrupt. While Adams celebrates real contributors, Mamdani pushes fare-free buses with no funding, defunded transit cops, and activist veto power over public events.

Flex earned that key through decades of elevating NYC’s sound. Mamdani? He’d rather hand the keys to DSA ideologues who’d turn SummerStage into a lecture hall on “capitalist oppression.”

Adams shows up for the boroughs. Mamdani shows up to sabotage them. The choice is clear: leadership that uplifts New York’s soul vs. radicals who’d silence it.
