DC-Based Hip-Hop Artist to Take the Stage at World Pride 2025 with Music That Honors Queer Black Identity

WASHINGTON, April 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Rising hip-hop artist and poetic visionary LYRICALMAR will release his bold new EP titled “MARCHIVES” on May 16, 2025—just ahead of his scheduled performances at World Pride 2025, hosted for the first time in Washington, DC. “MARCHIVES” is a deeply personal, genre-blurring body of work that blends hip-hop, experimental sound, and emotional vulnerability into a musical time capsule. Through the lens of Black queer identity, love, loss, and radical self-expression, the DC native curates a sonic archive that is both timeless and fiercely current.

“This is more than an EP—it’s my lived experience pressed into rhythm and rhyme,” says LYRICALMAR. “MARCHIVES” is a love letter to the people and places that shaped me—and a declaration that my voice matters.”

The 5-track project features standout singles like:

• “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” — A bold visual-first single featuring futuristic elements

• “Materialistic” — A stripped-down, emotionally charged track about self-worth
• “Go Off Show Off” feat. CHAR FM and Kidd Kenn — A high-energy urban club anthem, celebrating individuality and self-expression. As a proud member of the House of Garçon, LYRICALMAR brings a spirit of Ballroom resilience and pride to the track.

As the city and global LGBTQ+ community prepare for a historic World Pride 2025, LYRICALMAR will be a featured performer at three major events:

• May 23, 2025 — DC Black Pride Opening Reception at Capital Hilton (w/ TS Madison)
• May 28, 2025 — District of Pride Showcase at the Lincoln Theatre (Presented by the Mayor’s Office of LGBTQ Affairs)
• June 6, 2025 — World Pride Music Festival on the Unity Stage at RFK Festival Grounds, where he will perform his latest dance anthem “Superhuman”, produced by Grammy-winning producer Dave Audé. The festival is headlined by Jennifer Lopez, with featured artists Paris Hilton, Tinashé, and Troye Sivan.

LYRICALMAR’s work has already been praised for its powerful fusion of hip-hop, poetic storytelling, and visual art. He’s quickly emerging as one of the most relevant and inspiring queer voices in music today—bringing fresh perspective and emotional depth to the cultural conversation. With “MARCHIVES”, LYRICALMAR invites listeners to not only witness his journey, but to find pieces of their own story in the echoes.

Collaborative solutions and community engagement take center stage in LG Electronics’ Earth Day initiatives

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., April 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — LG Electronics celebrated Earth Day 2025 with impactful community initiatives across North America. At the core of this year’s Earth Day initiatives, supporting the company’s “Better Life for All” vision, were activations bringing together employees, partners and local communities. Beyond e-waste recycling drives in five states and a New York Times Square digital experience, LG employees actively contributed by building nesting boxes for local wildlife and planting trees on LG campuses, reinforcing the company’s vision of driving positive change.

To combat electronic waste and raise awareness about responsible technology disposal, LG hosted community-wide e-waste drives at its campuses in Englewood Cliffs, N.J.; Huntsville, Ala.; Clarksville, Tenn.; Lincolnshire, Ill.; Santa Clara, Calif.; and Toronto, Canada, collecting and routing more than 3,500 pounds of outdated electronics for responsible recycling in partnership with LG’s e-waste provider, ERI, the nation’s largest recycler of e-waste. Part of LG’s broader global circularity initiative, these electronics recycling events underscore LG’s commitment to driving progress towards smarter waste solutions; during the month of April, over 3.7 million pounds of e-waste has been recycled through ERI. Through its nationwide, year-round electronics take-back program, LG aims to collect and responsibly recycle more than 50 million pounds of e-waste in 2025.

As part of its ongoing partnership with the National Wildlife Federation (NWF), LG employees across the country built nesting boxes designed to provide safe spaces for wildlife to raise their young, promote biodiversity and contribute to healthier ecosystems. At LG’s LEED Platinum-certified headquarters in Englewood Cliffs, N.J., local team members enhanced the local biodiversity by planting 100 native plants across the campus, showing how innovation can improve natural integration in corporate spaces. In Canada, the LG team hosted its e-waste drive in partnership with Centennial College and Quantum Lifecycle Partners LP at the Centennial Downsview Campus; over 150 students participated.

“Technology has the power to shape a better future, and at LG, we know it is our responsibility to help create a ‘Better Life for All’,” said LG Electronics North America President & CEO Chris Jung. “Earth Day gives us an opportunity to show how technology, when paired with collaboration, can help tackle some of today’s biggest challenges, from resource efficiency to wildlife rehabilitation. LG is always looking for new ways to use our people and technology to create positive change, not just on Earth Day, but year ’round.”

Beyond community events, LG leveraged its tech platforms to inspire action on a broader scale. In May, LG will continue its Endangered Species Awareness Series on its iconic Times Square billboard, featuring a high-definition, 3D animated campaign spotlighting the West Indian Manatee. The visually stunning display, developed in partnership with the NWF, combines digital storytelling and immersive visuals to connect millions of people with critical conservation messages in an engaging format. LG has pledged $165,000 to-date to the NWF to support initiatives that protect wildlife and wild places.

“LG’s commitment to conservation is inspiring, and its efforts to support biodiversity and raise awareness about vulnerable and endangered species demonstrate the power of collaboration in protecting our planet,” said Carey Stanton, Head of Innovation and Partnerships for National Wildlife Federation. “By combining direct action with large-scale initiatives, LG is setting an example for how companies can make a meaningful impact.”

These efforts also complement LG’s partnership with NBC’s The Americas, a 10-part nature documentary airing Sundays on NBC and streaming on Peacock. The series showcases the breathtaking landscapes and extraordinary wildlife of North and South America, emphasizing the importance of preserving these ecosystems for future generations. The partnership directly aligns with LG’s goal to foster curiosity and appreciation through innovation in content and delivery.

Also commemorating Earth Day, LG participated in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s “Make Your Energy Choices Count” campaign. Now through May 17, LG is offering promotions on ENERGY STAR® certified appliances through retailers nationwide and LG.com, making high-efficiency, tech-enhanced solutions more accessible to households nationwide.
