Official Statement Regarding The Passing Of Kevin Lemons

         It is with deep sadness that we join the family of Kevin Lemons in announcing his transition January 7, 2023. Kevin Lemons was not only an extraordinary, highly respected songwriter, artist and choir director, he was a devoted and loving husband, a trusted leader of his music ministry and a pillar of gospel music’s vital choir scene.

     Details about memorial services will be announced soon.

      Bishop Hezekiah Walker is heartbroken, saying “Kevin Lemons was one of the kindest, most humble artists that I know, even though his gift and talents were enormous. His love for God seasoned everything that he did, and his palpable love for people was an extension of that. Kevin Lemons was just a beautiful human being and he will be sorely missed.”

     Lemons’ HezHouse Entertainment labelmates are also devastated by his sudden passing:

       Vincent Bohanan says: “I am in total disbelief concerning the untimely transition of my labelmate Kevin Lemons. Kevin has been a light in the gospel community for many years. His stance, leadership and command over the choir was like none other. There are many things in life we may not understand, but we trust the sovereignty of God. My prayers are with the family and Higher Calling. The Gospel Choir community will forever remember the life and legacy of Kevin Lemons.”

        Mark Hubbard says: “My heart is broken! You were more than just my labelmate. You considered me to be your uncle, and one of the mentors that you grew up listening to in the industry. I (we) will miss you in the physical, but your impact, legacy, and spirit will live on forever in our hearts. My Prayers are with Lady T, the family, and Higher Calling. Rest Well Nephew.”

       Patrick Riddick says: “My heart is heavy and full of sadness. From the moment the phone call came in, until now, I have been speechless. Maestro Kevin was our Thomas Whitfield and made up a third of OUR generation's Brat Pack. Our friendship was so genuine, we would challenge one another musically and share our unfiltered thoughts/critiques of each other in a way that only we could. The brotherhood went beyond music; we held each other accountable and integral. I am going to miss my brother. I am praying for Lady T, Higher Calling and every friend, artist, and colleague who will feel the impact of this loss.”

                 Kevin Lemons was the founder and director of the extraordinary chorale Higher Calling, who will have been together 27 years this year. Their most recent recording, Third Round, garnered Dove and Stellar Gospel Music Award nominations as well as robust acclaim at radio and on social media. Their breakout single, "For Your Good," accumulated over 100,000 streams and reached #3 on the Billboard Gospel Digital Sales Chart. Additionally, Lemons served as the vocal director for the celebrated Netflix film Come Sunday.

       “Lemons’ passing is a huge loss for the gospel music industry,” says Bishop Hezekiah Walker. “We are keeping Kevin’s wife of 15 years, Tiunna Lemons, in our heartfelt prayers, along with his family, extended family, members of Higher Calling and all those who knew and loved Kevin Lemons.” 

      Kevin Lemons & Higher Calling was founded when Kevin and a group of young singers came together for a special music event created by Kevin’s father, Wilbert Lemons. Kevin’s father was the director of the historic Atlanta Masonic Choir, which was founded by Kevin’s grandmother Annie Ruth Lemons. The group enjoyed singing together so much that they decided to stay together. Kevin Lemons & Higher Calling became a 100-member ensemble with 50 Atlanta-based singers and 50 additional singers from California, Virginia, the DMV area, New York, New Orleans, Texas, North Carolina, Florida and Alabama.

    Kevin Lemons & Higher Calling have taken their mesmerizing vocals and energetic performances to stages around the world. They have recorded three albums:  Their first album, Destined for Greatness, was released to critical acclaim; its title track caught the attention of choir maestro Ricky Dillard, who later recorded it with his ensemble New Generation.

        Their second album, The Declaration, peaked at #10 on Billboard’s Gospel Albums Chart. Their third album, Third Round, was released in 2021 and featured the breakout single “For Your Good.” Kevin Lemons & Higher Calling is a staple in Gospel music, and have performed with Gospel greats including Kirk Franklin, Bebe Winans, Donald Lawrence and Hezekiah Walker.

        Lemons was vocal director for the celebrated film Come Sunday, and has been the choir director for How Sweet the Sound and BET’s Sunday Best.

It isn't the first time that a mark tried to do something stupid to try and convince him to let them go. But he still isn't expecting Riddick to try and sweet-talk him.

"You know, I'm startin to think that you think I'm dumb Riddick." It's that slow drawl, a touch on the southern side. There's that confident smirk as he leans back in his chair. "So whats the plan, I give you your knife, you go hunt him down out of the goodness of your heart? Then what, you just put the restraints back on all easy and we're on our way?"

   “Oh?  Huh.”  Flat and sardonic,  the raise of his eyebrow meant to convey intrigue on his apathetic face.  “I didn’t know you were a mind reader and a two-bit merc.  Way to double down on those con artist skills.”  Expressionless black glass stays put on his captor,  watching him as closely as he is being watched.  Conversation between them as volatile and precise as blades exchanging blows,  showering sparks in parries of sly insults,  and on the exciting occasion that one of them could say or do something to get under the other’s skin,  they could cut deep enough to draw the proverbial blood.  

   “Well,”  tipping his head,  letting out a small sigh for effect,  straining his voice as if it was such an effort.  “You know,  if you wanna give up that chair I’d sit my happy ass in it while you go handle it.  Unless you plan on walking to the next refueling station.”  Johns would get the impression that Riddick was looking directly where his keys were.  Well,  where they ought to be.

HARKONNEN

Dave Bautista plays “Beast” Glossu Rabban Harkonnen in Denis Villeneuve’s upcoming film release of Frank Herbert’s science-fiction novel Dune. Physically, Bautista certainly fits the bill. At a towering 6’4” and weighing in at 275 pounds can not only act, he is also a mixed martial-artist, bodybuilder and professional wrestler who can no doubt crush several Fremen with his bare hands.

In Dune, Rabban’s title is Count of Lankieveil and he is the nephew of the Siridar-Baron Vladimir Harkonnen and cousin of the na-baron Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen. His reputation is one of cruelty, violence, and oppression. Rabban is sent by his uncle the Baron to rule Arrakis (Dune) as Caid (governor) where he is eventually killed in the Fremen revolt, along with his cousin and uncle.

Production stills show Bautista in a terrifying incarnation of Rabban, with a towering frame, predatory eyes and ghastly pale skin.

Bautista got his start in professional wrestling in the WWF in 2000 using the ring name Leviathan, then switching to WWE events under the name Deacon Batista in 2002. He then switched to the Raw brand being known simply as Batista. Batista’s career culminated at WrestleMania 21 where he won the World Heavyweight Championship. He then went on to defend his title several times, including against his infamous rival Triple H. Batista is currently ranked by the WWE as the second-best World Heavyweight Champion of all time.

Dave Bautista launched his acting career in television shows such as Smallville, Chuck, and Relative Strangers before landing his first movie role in Relative Strangers in 2006. He starred in other features such as House of the Rising Sun – where he won the award for Action Performer of the Year, The Scorpion King 3, The Man with the Iron Fists, Riddick and perhaps his most famous role as Drax in the Guardians of the Galaxy Marvel franchise.

Bautista went on to star in a number of Marvel features including Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame and the upcoming Thor: Love and Thunder appearing opposite Chris Hemsworth, Christian Bale and Natalie Portman.

Bautista appeared in a notable performance as Sapper Morton in Ridley Scott and Denis Villeneuve’s release of Blade Runner 2049, playing opposite Harrison Ford, Ryan Gosling and Jared Leto. The 2021 release of Dune will mark the second time Villeneuve and Bautista work together.
