It Could Be Just Me, But The Mayor Is Probably The Last Person I’d Want To Rap About

Hizzoner as rapper’s muse*:

By day, mild-mannered Angela Banks-Lowe toils quietly inside City Hall, answering the unrelenting stream of phone calls that pour into Mayor Bloomberg’s press office.

But unknown to most, this soulful civil servant also has a separate, secret life — as Madame Star, a rapper whose face once adorned the pages of Billboard magazine, right next to Salt-N-Pepa and Queen Latifah.

Now, the Erasmus Hall grad has a new song about her boss, the mayor — most certainly the only rap tune ever to mention the words “social promotion,” all while grooving to a bass line straight out of her native Brooklyn.

“I am just starting to get back into my music,” said the thirtysomething Banks-Lowe, who achieved most of her fame in the mid-’90s. “It was just something that I thought would be a nice dedication to the mayor.”

To be sure, her new single, titled “Four More Years,” offers not a note of criticism about the mayor. It is instead a kind of hip-hop anthem that recounts the successes of Bloomberg’s first term and his reelection last year.

“Everybody in the place, put a smile on your face, as you bounce to the bass, ’cause the mayor won the race,” goes the chorus to the song, which is not available in stores but can be heard at Banks-Lowe’s Web site

*And it’s not the first time this has happened.
