ABOUT THE SONG “RITE OF PASSAGE”
Instructed by God to wait . . . and for what seemed like an eternity, she did. A body of work that was so close to her heart was birthed out of the tricky, and nontransparent veil of the music industry with profound experiences and close calls, “ . . . if only the ‘Me Too Movement’ had been around back then,” she reflects. “Rite of Passage” is the single by Peoples Republic Music—a play on words by the multi-award-winning Kaylene Peoples.

About Peoples Republic:
Peoples Republic is message-driven music with the first project – A NEW RITE OF PASSAGE – based on a young woman’s indomitable spirit, breaking into a world she learned she didn’t belong, the songs on this album are about her struggles, her highs, and her lows . . . her acceptance and most of all her revelation!
“When Limuel contacted me about whether I had any new releases, there was a voice in my head that said . . . ‘it’s time.’ I knew that God had finally wanted me to move on A NEW RITE OF PASSAGE, starting with the first slated single ‘Rite of Passage,’ the title track. I DO NOT believe in coincidences. –Kaylene Peoples
