GENA (AKA “God Energy, Naturally Amazing”) brings together Los Angeles-based singer, rapper and producer Liv.e with legendary Detroit drummer and producer Karriem Riggins. Their debut album, The Pleasure Is Yours, released in 2026, is a loose, soulful conversation between two musicians with deeply instinctive approaches to rhythm: Liv.e's experimental take on R&B meeting Riggins' jazz and hip-hop-informed percussion. Riggins' résumé stretches from Common, Erykah Badu and The Roots to Madlib and J Dilla, while Liv.e has built her own reputation for bending soul, hip-hop and electronic music into something entirely personal. Their RALLY performance arrives at an exciting moment for GENA, bringing the improvisational spirit and warm, genre-crossing energy of The Pleasure Is Yours to this late afternoon slot.
