A Tribute to Baldwin’s Legacy
No More Water is a profound musical tribute to the influential writer and activist James Baldwin, commemorating his centennial. The project began as a theatrical piece, Can I Get a Witness?

The album blends elements of gospel, jazz, funk, and spoken word to explore themes of race, identity, and social justice. Contributors include poet Staceyann Chin, writer Hilton Als, and vocalist Justin Hicks.
