Music Industry Reacts to George Floyd Death With Grassroots 'Black Out Tuesday'

members have pledged to join a grassroots campaign to make June 2nd “Black Out Tuesday.”

Billed as “a day to disconnect from work and reconnect with our community,” the campaign — boasting the hashtag #TheShowMustBePaused — has gained support from people like Dirty Hit Records’ Jamie Oborne, former Hot 97 music director Karlie Hustle and Beats 1 host Ebro Darden.“Due to recent events please join us as we take an urgent step of action to provoke accountability and change,” the viral post states.

“As gatekeepers of the culture, it’s our responsibility to not only come together to celebrate the wins, but also hold each other up during a loss.” In supporting Black Out Tuesday, Darden wrote on social media, “All of my shows are cancelled. I will air replays of conversations with community activists, politicians and revolutionary music.”

idea - instead of going silent tomorrow, hand over your social media accounts/platform to black voices from your community

ok. the industry that has screwed black artists since DAY ONE.

Good.

The debt music corporations owe to black artists is immeasurable. Good to see some acknowledgement. Fair & equal promotion & treatment of black artists would be better still. Ain’t The Beatles & Elvis changed things but Miles, Little Richard, Hendrix, Prince, to name a very few.
