Nikky Bourbon Debuts Feminist Anthem “Diosa”

The mesmerizing and versatile artist Nikky Bourbon proudly proclaims her ancestral power in her single “Diosa,” an anthem of Latinx female empowerment celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month. The song releases on October 7th, 2022, with Symphonic Distribution and is available across all music/streaming platforms.
Growing up Espiritista with relatives in Santeria, “Diosa” is written from Bourbon’s spiritual perspective and references herself with “Sangre de Diosa” (blood of a goddess). The Latinx singer-songwriter wrote the song as a feminist anthem for LGBTQ+ women of color to embrace their collective inner strength. “‘Diosa,’ is the divine feminine. It represents connectedness with the universe and our power as women. It’s such a positive word to describe us in a world that loves to tear us down,” says Bourbon of her new song.
“Diosa” showcases the versatility of Nikky Bourbon, powerfully re-writing the societal norms of what it means to be a Latinx female artist. In “Diosa,” Bourbon feels more personal and vulnerable by sharing a side of herself that she has not shown before. Yet, Nikky Bourbon also evokes a feeling of being strong, good, sexy, and empowered. The emotional process is the Nuyorican artist’s unpacking of her childhood experiences with religion and spirituality as an adult today. In addition, Nikky Bourbon wants to “… shed light on the beauty of my religion and culture so that we can create a space for Espiritistas to feel safe and accepted in society.”
In the wake of Hurricane Fiona, Nikky Bourbon is working endlessly to help support her family, friends, and community in Puerto Rico. After extensive research, Bourbon realized the failed attempts to distribute resources to residents and the logistical nightmare after Hurricane Maria destroyed Puerto Rico five years ago. As a result, Nikky Bourbon has partnered with El Grito, a nonprofit organization specializing in collecting, distributing, and shipping for Puerto Rico relief. El Grito is best known as one of the few nonprofits that had successful operations during Hurricane Maria and shipped 13 containers of needed supplies such as generators, solar panels, medical supplies, etc.
Aside from the partnership with El Grito, Nikky Bourbon also set up a GoFundMe account where she will continuously donate and is open to anyone who wants to contribute. Additionally, Nikky Bourbon has taken it upon herself to do critical outreach to all charities and nonprofits she finds trying to provide Hurricane Fiona relief. Further, Nikky Bourbon has begun working with H&F Logistics to provide education and information to other organizations that need a better strategy to get relief aid to arrive on time. Considering the dismay of past hurricanes, such as Hurricane Maria, Nikky Bourbon’s overall mission is to create a more logically sound operation for all relief aid arriving in Puerto Rico.

Emerging Alt Hip-Hop Star Kembe X Shares New Song “Rolling Stoned”

Isaiah Rashad joins Windy City wordsmith Kembe X for his Hippie Sabotage produced cut “Rolling Stoned.” A thought-provoking masterpiece that cleverly disguises its depth with wordplay and ethereal Alternative Hip-Hop instrumentation, “Rolling Stoned” invites listeners to embark on a journey of hidden meanings and insights. Serving as yet another teaser to the Top Dawg Entertainment affiliate’s forthcoming ‘Sleep Paralysis’ project, it may initially appear as brash rap but the record unfurls into a profound exploration of personal growth, dreams, and self-discovery.
“When we made this song in September 2021 it felt like a reunion and an opportunity to show Hippie Sabotage, I’m not the same person who moved from Chicago to LA and crashed on their couch. It was a chance to demonstrate my newfound confidence in my creative abilities and a willingness to adopt a fresh approach to music. It’s not a reinvention of my artistry, but a shedding of old skin and a dreamy exploration of a new version of myself, deeply connected to my psychedelic discoveries,” shares the Chicago native in a press statement when asked about his “Pole Vaulting” follow-up.
Known for his work with artists such as REASON, Guapdad4000, Jay Rock, and Ab-Soul, Kembe X stands as a beacon of innovation in a musical landscape often mired in conformity. His music, with over 10M+ UGC views on TikTok and 5M+ views on YouTube, has ignited a cultural wave, resonating across platforms. Accumulating a staggering 30M+ Spotify streams, Kembe X’s tracks encapsulate the essence of his artistry.
Beyond mere numbers, Kembe X’s compositions, from the introspective depths of “Voices” and “Cozy Forever” to the bluesy contemplation of “Body Language” and “Anyway,” paint a poignant picture of battling depression, touching hearts and minds. His magnetic stage presence has left an indelible mark, from headlining the Hippie Sabotage Tour in 2016 to sharing the stage in the ScHoolboy Q CrasHtalk Tour in 2019, not to mention legendary performances at Rolling Loud Miami from 2014 to 2017 and Rolling Loud Los Angeles 2017, solidifying his status as a festival favorite.
