Kamala Harris Praises Megan Thee Stallion: “Black Women DO Deserve Better”

The ongoing drama between Megan Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez has reached the political arena. The public doesn’t seem to have all of the facts about this case, but that hasn’t stopped people from weighing in with their opinions. Megan Thee Stallion has continued to maintain that Tory Lanez is responsible for injuries sustained during a shooting incident that occurred in the elite Hollywood Hills back in July, while Lanez has repeatedly stated that he didn’t hurt her.

Days ago, Megan’s op-ed piece for The New York Times was published, and inside, the Houston rapper spoke about the mistreatment she’s received in the wake of the shooting. The article captured the attention of Democratic vice presidential hopeful Kamala Harris who retweeted Meg’s piece with a sincere message.

“Thank you, @theestallion, for using your voice to speak out. Black women DO deserve better,” Kamala wrote. “I promise when @JoeBiden and I are elected, we’ll continue to show up not just with lip service, but with action.” Megan Thee Stallion reposted Joe Biden’s running mate’s message to her Twitter page with clapping emojis. “Make sure y’all get up and go vote,” the rapper told her followers.

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.
