All the Black Queens to the front!
Give us your best 16
This one is for all our Black women! Whos voices, especially in this
genre, are often silenced or taken for granted. We want to hear your
voice! We started this competition to hear verses from Black women and
non-binary people all around the world. Speak on the industry or your
experience, speak in vernacular, speak on how proud you are to be who
you are. Whatever you do, speak as you!
All proceeds from the Times Up remix go to Pola Psychology, a practice that provides culturally responsive mental health care for African youth and musicians in their own community, by their own community. In a statement, Sampa wrote, At a time like this, its important to let my friends and the wider African community know that this support exists and our health matters.
