RJ Griffith Collaborates with Chicago Artists to Release Empowering Anthem "Survive" and Fundraising Face Masks
RJ Griffith released a powerful and uplifting new single titled "Survive" on Labor Day, September 7th. The song, a collaboration with fellow Chicago artists Caleb Taylor, Pia Renee, Rhyan Lamarr, Genius Picaso (producer), and Charlie Davis (writer), aims to inspire resilience and unity in the face of challenging times. RJ Griffith, known for his soul-stirring melodies and socially conscious music, has taken this opportunity to not only create impactful music but also to give back to the community through charitable efforts.
In anticipation of the song's release, RJ Griffith had a candid conversation with Natalie Bombke from Fox 32 Chicago. The interview provided an insightful look into the creation of "Survive" and the artist's motivation behind the song. With lyrics that echo the sentiment of prevailing against adversity, the song's hook "don't you get fed up, just pick your head up, just lift your hands high, we gon' survive" resonates with audiences globally as it speaks to the struggles faced by many in these unprecedented times.
To further their mission of making a positive impact, RJ Griffith and his collaborators are launching a charitable initiative. The artists have designed and will be selling protective face masks adorned with the cover artwork of "Survive." All profits from the face mask sales will be directed towards supporting two local organizations. The Chicago Community COVID-19 Response Fund, aimed at providing assistance to vulnerable neighborhoods grappling with the effects of the pandemic, and the Chicago-based nonprofit By The Hand Kids Club, dedicated to offering under-resourced children enriched opportunities, will both benefit from the funds raised.
RJ Griffith expressed his gratitude to the supporters of the initiative, stating, "We believe that music has the power to uplift and unite. With the sale of these face masks, we're not only promoting safety during these times but also extending a helping hand to those who need it most. Every mask purchased contributes to our collective effort to make a meaningful change."
The face masks can be purchased at https://rjgriffith.threadless.com/accessories/face-mask/premium, and the single "Survive" can be listened to at https://unitedmasters.com/m/rjgmusic.
Through this endeavor, RJ Griffith and his collaborators are combining their musical talents with their commitment to the betterment of their community, setting a heartfelt example of resilience, creativity, and compassion.
