Divinity Roxx Releases Family Hip-Hop Album
West New York
bassist and songwriter Divinity Roxx has released a new hip-hop album for
families, Ready Set Go!, with eight original songs that show kids the
power of positivity. Best known as the bass player with Beyoncé’s all-female
band, Divinity wrote the songs to encourage children to “move and groove to
their own beautiful beat.”
She also just
published two Scholastic picture books based on her songs “Happy and Healthy,”
a celebration of life and health, and “Me + You,” a look at the meaning of
family. Each book is illustrated by NaShantá Fletcher and contains a link to
the corresponding song.
Ready Set Go! is now streaming everywhere, including bandcamp,
Apple Music, Spotify and Amazon.
NPR recently reviewed
the album, saying, “While unabashed positivity runs throughout Ready Set Go,
Divinity also includes a song called “Love, Love, Love” that recognizes
sometimes families argue. ‘Whenever humans come together, there’s always some
kind of conflict you’re going to face,’ she says. ‘But if you can rest on the
fact that you love each other and respect each other when you are expressing
your differences, that love is what’s going to keep you bonded.’ Wise words for
grown-ups too.”
