“The station is credited as part of a fading network of local arts media that elevated Chance The Rapper, Vic Mensa, Smino, Jamila Woods, Ravyn Lenae, Saba, Ric Wilson and a burgeoning mix of independent rap, soul and R&B artists to citywide and national recognition.”

Black x Brown #love is political

Everyone should be free to love who they want.

The amount of times we've received DM's asking whether we're a dating agency over the years! #love

Your creativity is a gift.

It’s a good thing you don’t fit in.

You feel deeply and see beneath the surface.

You ignore the unspoken, unnecessary rules and color outside the lines.

Your presence points to freedom.

Build what you want to see.

Beware people, brands, and orgs that only show up to support or collab on Black History Month or AAPI Month.
