Black Men United (B.M.U.) was a collaboration of many African-American male R&B, Hip-Hop and Soul music artists. The sole song "U Will Know", written by a young D'Angelo, was released in 1994. It was featured in the movie Jason's Lyric and on the movie's soundtrack.
FREEDOM was a 1995 song released on Mercury Records featuring a chorus of over 60 African-American female artists and groups of note in hip-hop, pop and R&B music including Aaliyah, Mary J. Blige, MC Lyte, En Vogue, SWV, TLC, and Monica.
GIVEN WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE NEXT 3 DAYS, I THOUGHT THE ALL-STAR RECORDING OF BOTH SONGS WERE APPROPRIATE. THEIR MESSAGES RESONATE THE PLIGHT OF A NATION THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED & I FEEL THAT AMERICA IS ON IT’S WAY THERE…SO I HOPE THAT ENERGY FROM THESE SONGS BEGIN THE HEALING PROCESS…
