You should watch the whole skit. It was a spoof on Hamilton (featuring one of the stars of that show). Right before Hillary's cameo, de Blasio was instructed by the Aaron Burr character to brag about himself in a more "hip hop" style (a la the musical). He then proceeds to start rapping, which culminates in him introducing his "homegirl" Hillary Clinton (in rap).
