Virginia country singer Oliver Anthony, a former factory worker, is going viral after his song “Rich Men North of Richmond” hit streaming services Aug. 11.
His music tells a scathing tale of greed and injustice in America, and it's rapidly being embraced and promoted by right-wing pundits.
“I’ve been selling my soul, working all day/ Overtime hours for (expletive) pay,” he sings in “Rich Men North of Richmond."
A YouTube video posted by radiowv shows Anthony's acoustic performance where he funnels the frustration and angst of the working class into lines that rage against greedy rich men.
