Welcome

Some of you may ask me why I made this.

To that, I say…

“My boy Spatula bunking down for a snowy night” 

so, since the Drake v Kendrick beef has shown how many people on tumblr are missing out on black music (as well as a lot of people still thinking that black music is “just [this one racist stereotype]”) I’ve put together an inconclusive playlist of black music covering loads of different genres, styles and eras as a brief introduction to what you could be listening to!

You want emo? Listen to Jhariah! You want punk? Listen to The Muslims! You want beautiful piano pieces? Listen to Alexis Ffrench! You want Belgian music in a range of different styles all rolled into one? Listen to Stromae! You want exclusively queer rap by a queer indie artist? Listen to RealXMan! You want 70s music? You got it! You want hip hop? You got it! You want rock? You got it! You want rap? You got it!

Go forth and have fun! And keep in mind that this is definitely not even scratching the surface, so by all means, here’s your starting point to start researching further and finding new artists. I found a few new amazing songs/artists just from making this playlist, and re-remembered songs I hadn’t heard in years (does anyone else remember Dynamite by Taio Cruz? That was my self-proclaimed favourite song from the ages of 7–11 lol).

And if anyone wants to recommend anything else to add to the playlist, please do! I’m still building up my own knowledge of black music, and I definitely wasn’t able to cover every genre, so any recommendations are much appreciated!
