You might be exhausted from this weekend’s news surrounding President Trump’s Twitter feud with San Juan, Puerto Rico, mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz but there’s good news on the horizon: Lin-Manuel Miranda is writing and producing a song to benefit Puerto Rico’s hurricane relief and judging by the lineup of features it will not disappoint!
Not many details are out yet, however. All we know is what the Hamilton creator has teased on Twitter. Primarily, that he’s creating a song for Puerto Rico and that he spent the weekend recording dope artists for the new tune. He’s got “all the yesses we wanted” and hopes to release it by the end of the week.
Luckily, while we anxiously await for the new song to come out, Lin-Manuel can’t help but continue to tease with photos and short videos of the various artists that will be featured. Here is a list of who we can expect to be on the track. Read on to learn about the more than a dozen singers who have joined the benefit effort so far.
