Mayor Stars In Music Video Inspired By Flint

FLINT (WWJ) - Dozens of community members, including the mayor, have made a music video for a song inspired by the city of Flint.

Musician Yusuf Bauswell helped spearhead the project. The song is called "We Gone Make It (The Fight Ain't Yours Alone)."

Bauswell and his team of local artists say they were inspired to use their talents to make a song that would reassure everyone that they are together in the struggle that Flint faces.

The video was shot in Flint on June 4, and was expected to be released soon. The album featuring it is set for release later this month.

This project follows a recent theme of Michigan cities using the Internet to bolster their community. Watch the Grand Rapids Lip Dub which has more than 2.6 million views on YouTube.
