Worldwide Ty compares Black music to Harriet Tubman's Underground Railroad, calling it a passage that opened doors for Black and brown people beyond the music industry itself. Music gave access to opportunities, exposure, and perspectives that might otherwise have been closed off.
When I think about Black music, I think about passage. Music has been a passage for us, you know, to move through different parts of life that we wouldn't have been able to get exposed to.
Mm-hmm.
And when I think about music, Black music, I think about the, the spirit of like Harriet Tubman and like taking and getting people to safe passage through hardship. It has been a pathway. It has been a vehicle for Black and brown people to be able to see the world, experience, you know, life in just a different way, find some level of honor. I'm super, super just thankful for the pathway that music has carved out.
