Audio: Kenna "Gloria"

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.kenna-gloria

Just the other day, I was complaining about the delay on Kenna's next EP, Land 2 Air Chronicles II: Imitation is Suicide, little did I know he has something far more important in the works. You'll remember a few years ago, Kenna spearheaded the Summit on The Summit movement, a climb of Mount Kilimanjaro to help fight the global water crisis. Well he's back at it again, Summit on the Summit 2 is now underway, this time, he's bringing alng fellow climbers Mark Foster, Justin Chatwin, and more (get all the details here). He also has a goal of gettin Bono's attention, not just on a musical level, but because "his level of activism and effectiveness is what he aspires to achieve in his pursuit to raise awareness about the global clean water crisis and in life." Hopefully this cover of U2's "Gloria" will help get his attention.
