Each week this February, producer Adrian Younge (Ghostface Killah, Souls Of Mischief, Luke Cage, PRhyme) has released a series of tracks in celebration and remembrance of Black History Month. Previously, Younge linked up with Georgia Anne Muldrow and Terrace Martin for the Soul-driven, starry-eyed single “February,” and most recently with British singer/songwriter for the cascading, jazzy cut, “Home.” To explain his perspective and reasons for sharing, Younge reflects on the state of Black America.
“The obsession with race is disturbing to those that wish to divert attention away from the unyielding attributes that have plagued Black America,” said the Los Angeles, California producer/musician in a statement. “However, we all must realize how such disenfranchisement has negatively affected us all. We are all equal and we are all human; we all have something to say and something to contribute; essentially, we all deserve to be heard, recognized and respected. That being said, our celebration of Black History Month brings us closer to understanding the struggles and contributions African Americans have made in making America what it is.”
