SAN DIEGO, California-based rapper Gerry Skrillz has released a single,
"Alright", featuring Eric Heron. Said Skrillz, "'Alright' is about
tapping into a state of mind that allows us to rise above our negative
surroundings. It is a journey through the eyes of a Latino artist
determined to push through adversity in a country that struggles to
embrace its own diversity. I wrote this song with the intent to
empower minorities as they struggle to overcome difficult
circumstances within an unjust society. Specifically, 'Latino
immigrants' finding their identity amongst a firestorm of racial
attacks stemming from the issue of immigration in American politics. I
want my music to give my people hope and remind them that our success
and happiness is not dependent on the acceptance of a society
struggling to understand itself."
