Song about Tulsa
Dangerous Rob and Playya 1000 teamed up with Malachi Da Sauce God to bring you “For Black Wall Street“. The anthem commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre.
These veteran hip hop artists consider this collaborative effort to commemorate the centennial of the race massacre a powerful and important symbol.
The song is available now on Isotopia Records as part of the compilation album 1921 The Black Wall Street Music Project.
Black Wall Street
During the 1920s the Greenwood District was the wealthiest Black community in the U.S. often revered as the “Black Wall Street”.
On May 31 and June 1, 1921, a white mob attacked and set fire to the homes and businesses of Black residents in Greenwood.
The aftermath saw over 800 hospitalizations and 39 deaths. The area suffered irreparable damage. Thousands of Black citizens were left homeless with over 35 square blocks destroyed.
The Tulsa hip-hop artists says the anthem “For Black Wall Street” and the compilation album will help spread awareness of the massacre in addition to, bringing awareness to previously forgotten historical context to future generations.
Until recently, the Tulsa race massacre has generally been swept under the rug.
The massacre was omitted from local, state, and national records. The events resurfaced in the late 90s and early 2000s.
The Tulsa race massacre officially just became a part of the Oklahoma school curriculum in 2020.
