Global superstar Becky G releases new single “They Ain’t Ready” along with the music video (directed by Daniel Duran) via Kemosabe Records/RCA Records.
Becky said:
‘They Ain’t Ready’ has always been a favorite English record of mine. However, I must say this release is slightly bittersweet. At the time, this song was meant to inspire others to fight for love and come together despite their differences. Today, it not only stands for that but also hope.
In an effort to support her local community during the current health crisis, Becky is selling a limited edition charity t-shirt. All proceeds from t-shirt sales will be donated to support Los Angeles Students in Need. T-Shirts are available HERE.
Becky added:
Given our current state of the nation, my priorities have recently been to educate myself as much as possible on COVID-19 and find as many ways as I can to help give back to others. While this has affected the entire world, the effects I’ve seen first hand in my LA community are devastating. As my first solo release since the pandemic, I’ve decided to give back to the kids and students of the LAUSD. They have approximately 700,000 students in their system, of which 80% live in poverty. I used to be one of those students.
Most of these kids don’t have access to the resources they need to continue their at-home studies. Materials such as computers and internet connection, down to basics like pencils and paper, are not easily accessible at the moment. Many students are also reliant on the meals provided at school and are no longer guaranteed food on their plates. With every limited edition “They Ain’t Ready” T-shirt sold, 100% of the proceeds will go to the LAUSD COVID-19 relief fund. Together, we can make sure that no child goes hungry and no student’s education falls through the cracks during these uncertain times. I love this song, I love my city & bringing my two worlds together in an effort to help others feels like the right thing to do. I have every intention to continue giving back to the ones most in need and this is one of the first steps to doing just that.
Becky G’s debut album, Mala Santa was released in October 2019 and has been certified 8X Platinum in the United States, Platinum in Spain and Gold in México.
