The folks behind SoCal-based indie label Wiretap Records, recently announced the launch of an imprint label known as ‘My Grito,’ aimed at supporting primarily Latin / LatinX artists in various mediums, including "bands/musicians, artists/muralists, comedians, entertainers, and more".

"Undocumented hospitality workers are the backbone of the hospitality industry. They are unemployed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and are not eligible for unemployment benefits even though they’re taxed every paycheck. $33 Feeds a Family of 4 for 1 week ... If we can raise even just a bit... let's do our part."
