Yes. Yes he is.
We know how Rep. Trey Radel, R-Fla., feels about Obamacare.
"We won't start hiring full-time people." Ken Adams, Subway franchisee. #Obamacare is #badforbusiness & bad for YOU! http://t.co/IytY5W8JXp

But what does he think of the latest album by Obama’s pal Jay-Z?
Have been asked several times here about #jayz's @s_c_ new album. On way to #DC. Totally unqualified review to come…
— Trey Radel (@treyradel) July 16, 2013
Only… ONLY.. #JayZ @s_c_ can pull off a #hiphop ode to Kurt Cobain and REM @remhq. Not just an ode.. But lyrical references! Pretty sick.
— Trey Radel (@treyradel) July 16, 2013
And only Hova @s_c_ can pull off references to the Concord, Paris n Rome and still sound real. Not @kanyewest. No one. #MCHG
— Trey Radel (@treyradel) July 16, 2013
.@S_c_ Shuts it down in last 1:30 of Picasso Baby. Love it. & at :30 where the beat drops out is pretty sick. #MCHG
— Trey Radel (@treyradel) July 16, 2013
Oceans w Frank Ocean (who I can't find a @twitter for!). Clever song name, huh? Solid tune. #MCHG
— Trey Radel (@treyradel) July 16, 2013
Somewhereinamerica. Helluva track. Piano, brass n strings rock. #Nola feel. & hilarious. Yes– #Twerking. Even a ref to Frank Sinatra! #MCHG
— Trey Radel (@treyradel) July 16, 2013
On Crown. Love the use of old school synths & bass sounds like a TR-808. Old school. Solid beats. #jayz @s_c_ #MCHG
— Trey Radel (@treyradel) July 16, 2013
No idea who produced @s_c_ tunes, but Heaven has a @kanyewest kinda feel to it. #MCHG
— Trey Radel (@treyradel) July 16, 2013
BBC. Sick flow. Smooth beat. & respect to one of my ALL TIME FAVORITES @ericbandrakim Nice! #jayz @s_c_ #MCHG
— Trey Radel (@treyradel) July 16, 2013
Don't know who drops the hook w/ #jayz @s_c_ on "nickels & dimes." But solid track. Kinda dark. #MCHG
— Trey Radel (@treyradel) July 16, 2013
And only #jayz @s_c_ can throw down "nickels n dimes" after tracks about Concords, Paris, Rome n Tom Ford.. Dude still pulls it off. #MCHG
— Trey Radel (@treyradel) July 16, 2013
Well that was fun…thx for following along. Flight's coming into #DC, time to get to work #jayz #MCHG @s_c_
— Trey Radel (@treyradel) July 16, 2013
That’s one way to reach across the aisle.
#FF @treyradel for the Congressman's take on the new Jay-Z album.
— The Daily Beast (@thedailybeast) July 16, 2013
For the record: @treyradel and I will rarely (if ever) agree on politics. But we certainly can agree on #MCHG. #hiphopheads
— Sean Quinn (@sdquinn) July 16, 2013
At least one Twitter user gave Radel points for being a pretty cool “older conservative dude.”
https://twitter.com/dashflanagan/status/357193565853585408
Radel is 37 years old.
@dashflanagan @S_C_ hey, hey, hey watch that "o" word you're throwing around haha
— Trey Radel (@treyradel) July 16, 2013
The congressman also produces his own hip-hop beats.
