Donald Trump had planned a campaign rally tonight at UIC Pavilion in Chicago. Due to security concerns, however, Trump canceled his appearance at the event and postponed the rally. In defiance to Trump, protestors within the venue chanted Kendrick Lamar‘s “Alright,” as Complex points out. Watch them rap the hook in a clip below.

Last month, David Byrne wrote an essay examining the rise of Donald Trump. Since he began his presidential bid, Adele, R.E.M., and Neil Young have asked Trump to stop using their music for his events.
