Following in the footsteps of many other BFF.fm DJs, this broadcast of The Monday Lineup radio show is in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter Movement.
Tonight I will do my best to amplify the voices of Black artists that span genre, mood and feeling - from speaking truth to power in the fight against systemic racism and policy brutality to expressions of pure joy on the dance floor.
**sorry for the accidental drop off in music in the recording where Tribe should have been playing from 4m 55s to 7m 10s**
I will be keeping my voice to a minimum, in attempt to really listen to these voices. Here is some more background and info on some of the songs and artists featured:
Clarinetist Anthony McGill Kneels, Pleads And Plays For Justice
Art That Confronts and Challenges Racism: Start HereRun the Jewels Delivered the Rap Album the Moment Demands
The Videos That Rocked America. The Song That Knows Our Rage.
Movement For Black Lives Virtual Rally
