Rapper Porsche Truck Ruk to play concert in front of massive 'Vote for Trump' sign from Sticker PAC in Upstate NY

Pro-Trump rapper Porsche Truck Ruk will be performing in front of a 100-foot-long "Vote for Trump" sign in the Upstate New York city of Amsterdam Sunday Oct. 20. Sticker Mule, the event host, lit up the sign on a building in the city earlier this month, showing support for the GOP candidate despite heavy pressure from the city to remove the giant sign.

Ruk will be rapping "Say What You Mean" this upcoming Sunday, a tune that has amassed over 1 million listens on World Star Hip Hop and YouTube combined. The song is supportive of President Trump and was executive produced by Anthony Constantino. The "Sunday at the Sign" event will take place starting at 4pm and the song will be performed at 6pm. 

Sticker Mule told The Post Millennial that Ruk feels a sense of support for the GOP nominee after he was freed after Trump's prison reform efforts. Ruk is a native of Schenectady, New York, a city nearby to Amsterdam that was once a booming town for manufacturing after Thomas Edison founded his company that would later become General Electric. Like Amsterdam, however, many of those manufacturing jobs in Schenectady have been hollowed out from the Upstate New York region.

This was one of the reasons Sticker Mule chose the location, as it is representative of Trump's message of bringing manufacturing work back to the country. The stage where Ruk will be performing is going to be placed in front of the 100-foot-long "Vote for Trump" sign on the once-abandoned FOWNES building in Amsterdam. Sticker Mule bought up the property in 2019 after it was left abandoned in 2010.

Lyrics from the song reflect a message of being authentic with your choice of words and came from a call that was with retired MMA Fighter Thomas Marcellino, Anthony Constantino, and Ruk, who originally freestyled the lyrics.

"Mean what you say, say what you mean. It's either black or white, no in between. You ain't gotta lie just to kick it. I'd rather hear the truth, I could go without the fiction," the chorus starts, which then goes into a verse. "Kamala was locking us up. Trump was freeing us. So when politicians talk to us. I ain't believing them. You're either real or fake. It's all love or hate. They start saying that you change when they can't relate."

Constantino said in a press release, "Everything is so fake lately. I thought it'd be cool to make a song about being real versus being fake. I pitched Ruk on the concept. He dropped an iconic line about Trump on the call and the next day had his whole verse recorded, plus a beat, plus plans to get Dave East and Vado on the song." The CEO has thought about venturing into the music industry as well. 

Ruk said of the song, "Tommy, Anthony and I are always hustling to bring energy to Upstate, NY. I got back to regular life after prison, fighting in MMA and after 8 fights I'm putting all my energy into music. This record was totally unexpected and came about quickly, but as soon as people heard it we knew it was gonna be a mega hit."

In comments to TPM, Ruk said that he isn’t persuading people to vote for Trump, but wants to let the world know why he is with the song, “I think [Trump’s] gonna make America great again because he says what he means, and he means what he says."

He added that GOP nominee “doesn't read off of projector screens when he's talking. You know, that's why sometimes he makes mistakes, but he's being himself. At all times, he's being authentic.”
