Jerry Lorenzo Reveals Kamala Harris Merch Capsule
Kamala Harris is currently running to become the next Vice President of the United States and many are taking notice. She is the first black woman to take to the Vice Presidential debate stage and she could very well become the first woman elected to the Vice President’s office, effectively putting her next in line for the Presidency. Last night was a huge night for Harris as she battled Mike Pence in the Vice Presidential debate. To commemorate this special time, Jerry Lorenzo of Fear of God has created a merch capsule that will benefit the non-profit, Black Futures Lab.
Taking to Instagram, Lorenzo showed off some of the hoodies and t-shirts that will be a part of the collection. Lorenzo even offered a heartfelt message on why he felt the need to create the capsule.
“When @kamalaharris takes the stage in tonight’s vice presidential debate I cannot help but to think about my wife, mother, sisters, grandmother, twin daughters, the millions of women of color and specifically black women who have been overlooked and marginalized in this country,” Lorenzo said. “We have the responsibility to vote. the luxury to vote. let’s answer the call for so many that never had this right before. let your voice be heard.”

Kenton Hall & The Necessary Measures unveils a big record on a small budget with “The Sun Shone Down”
Kenton Hall and The Necessary Measures‘ latest release, “The Sun Shone Down,” is a huge track and proudly wears independent artistry. Conceived to make a “big record on a small budget,” the track shows how imagination and passion can outweigh studio costs. Each layer, strings, horns, keys, choirs, creates a cinematic yet emotional sound.
The philosophy behind “The Sun Shone Down” is intriguing. Kenton Hall embraces limitations, making collaboration and creativity the currency of the song. The music evokes gratitude. That reflects the amazing people and artistic relationships that shaped the record. It is ambitious for spectacle and emotional impact.
Hall writes songs about the unspoken emotions people feel, conflict, hope, longing, and survival. That authenticity gives the track weight beyond the lush instrumentation. More than just a great sound. Feeling great. Kenton Hall & The Necessary Measures’ personal and expansive song is born of emotional honesty and a richly layered production, reminding us that belief, not budgets, powers some of the biggest records.

The Real Mack The Knife honors memory and spirit with soulful release “Rio Grande de Loíza”
The song “Rio Grande de Loíza” by The Real Mack The Knife is a powerful tribute to Puerto Rico’s history, memory, and sacred spirit. The track transforms nature into something spiritual, intimate, and timeless, inspired by the legendary river and Julia de Burgos’ immortal voice.
The song “Rio Grande de Loíza” has an old, alive vibe from the beginning. River water, moonlight, desire, and cultural memory shape a song that seems to rise from the ground. The Real Mack The Knife uses the river as a living, symbolic being, unlike the original work.
Julia de Burgos gives the piece incredible depth. She sees the river as a witness, a mother, a wound, a mirror, and a prayer throughout the song’s emotional landscape. The literary and spiritual connection gives the track a haunting beauty beyond music.
