Description:

Musical displays engaging with social justice issues have been prominently influential since the beginning of folk and protest music; these types of music also intertwine themselves with political messages. This form of expression is a medium with which people can spread their experience and knowledge to others in a highly creative way. By expressing ones concerns through music many people can hear it and experience it, and henceforth, interpret it in different ways. This is a special aspect of music, having two options: digging the beat and understanding the lyrics. In rap and hip-hop music, which I chose to focus on, I think that these types of music are the most influential to the youth and future of America. By setting up this playlist, I hope to present artists and songs whose main purpose is about social justice issues of the people.
