**Zohran Mamdani’s “No” side leads at 71.5% because his brief early rap career as Young Cardamom and Mr. Cardamom has shown no revival since he became NYC mayor.** Mamdani released multilingual tracks and the 2016 EP *Sidda Mukyaalo* in his twenties, with the last notable single around 2019, but has released nothing new in the years leading into or during his political rise. As mayor, he remains focused on governance, with recent 2026 interviews and public appearances emphasizing his music taste (including Taylor Swift and Jay-Z playlists) rather than new creative output. Tax filings confirm he still earns modest royalties—roughly $1,643 in 2025—from older material, yet he has joked that “a lot of people say they’re listening. They’re not listening,” underscoring the side project’s limited scale. No official announcements, studio activity, or promotional hints have emerged in 2025–2026, and the market closes December 31, 2026, leaving little time for a surprise drop absent a major shift in priorities. Traders see a busy political schedule and lack of recent momentum as the dominant factors keeping fresh releases unlikely.
