Black Music Month is a celebration of incredible Black music and its rich cultural heritage! That’s why Okayplayer, OkayAfrica, and Global Grind came together to honor music that represents the expansive African diaspora.

Music is, and will always be a powerful way to connect us all — we’ve got timeless cuts from Yasiin Bey and Lauryn Hill along with newer tracks from Little Simz, Obongjayar, Burna Boy, and more. We hope you enjoy the vibes and discover some new favorites.
