Episode 3 | Black Lives Matter

From Sam Cooke, to Kendrick Lamar, since time immemorial, music has embodied hope and inspiration for social change. Serving as cultural timestamps to identify distinct times, places and distinct turning points in our lives; music can be a powerful reminder of how far we’ve come or rather echo how much farther we have to go. On May 25th 2020, George Floyd’s death by police brutality triggered one of the largest sustained protest periods in modern history. Artists and activists spearheaded this movement how they know best, using their voice. So what does Black Lives Matter sound like in 2020? To further explore, I spoke with Shad (hip hop artist and host of Hip Hop Evolution), Haviah Mighty (rapper and Polaris Prize Winner artist), Owen O’Sound Lee (artist, producer) and Sandy Hudson of Black Lives Matter Toronto (co-founder).
