    Racism in the Music Industry

    This is not an easy topic to talk about - but as musicians, we need to have conversations about the industries and ecosystems that impact us the most. In our PREMIER episode, we walk through several examples of cultural appropriation, specifically aimed at rebranding black music (and techniques) to white musicians and audiences.  With a bit of humor along the way, the Post Woke Boys won't spare your feelings, but the aim and intention is clear: showcase what's wrong and affirm what is right. LET'S GO!
