Trump broke from tradition with the Bog Standard GOP and employs a savvy team of young RW grifters instead of old guard statesmen and kingmaker campaign managers. The benefit of having young RWers is they arent as held by decorum and have no problem aligning with degenerate rappers.
Plus I think Trump and his team have an internal strategy of seizing Black voters away from the Dems. I think the ultimate victory lap for Trump would be beating Barack and Biden on Black voter turnout. Despite how abhorrently racist his policies are, you can tell that SOMEONE is in his ear about speaking to Black voters as some of the things hes said/done seem particularly pointed toward the faux political online Black community.
The Republicans have been inserting themselves in Black spaces for the past decade or so and since we don't know how to keep our problems in house, the blue print wasn't really hard. Create an environment of grievance politics, make Democrats 'unmanly and for LGBTQ and women' (not saying the criticism is completely unwarranted). Stoke the flames of the culture wars and appeal to lowest common denominator.
Also Trump has been popular with rappers since the 1980s.
