In association with Black History Month I was asked by Krug Park to curate Sounds Of Blackness. All artists are Black and it is (obviously, if you look at the tracklist) VERY non-genre specific.
I tried to include artists who had a huge impact on music (or should have) and showcase some who did songs outside of their know or expected genre.
That said, there were soooo many artists that I wanted to include (sorry Chuck Berry, Bad Brains, FeFe Dobson, Sammy Davis Jr., Quincy Jones, et. al.) that just didn't make it.
I would have to do a 24+ hour set to even come close to being able to include all that I would want to.
Surprisingly enough, people seemed to dig it despite it being all over the place.
ENJOY!
And thanks for listening.
