About

The Liberation of Black Music Podcast is designed for audiences to learn about black artists that don't get much credit for the contributions they made in the music industry. We play a few games here and there, and create a safe space for upcoming black artists, musicians, and/or producers to showcase their talents and discuss their music journeys. This is a podcast FOR US BY US.
