black lgbtq artists

Some black lgbt artists to celebrate during pride month!

Lesbian:

Tiffany Gouche – r&b singer who routinely uses she/her in her songs, listen when you want to feel extra gay and relaxed

Syd/the internet – she fronts the band the internet but also makes her own stuff under Syd, r&b music

be steadwell – singer-songwriter, has an album called “queer love songs” that should be on all our pride playlists

Siya – rapper and honestly is any rap better than lesbian rap? I think not. Try “dreaming outro” and “box”

Young M.A – rapper, give “bonnie” a listen

Melange Lavonne – rapper/hip-hop artist

Doria Roberts – the person who started the #ThisIsWhatALesbianLooksLike, catchy folk/jazz music, wife!!! Has a wife!!!

Amandla Stenberg – played rue in the hunger games, gal pals with king princess, give “let my baby stay” a listen

Gay:

Mykki Blanco – rapper, now identifies as a “femme gay man” and uses he/him pronouns, says “I am a gay man but my trans journey is who I am.”

Kevin Abstract – member of brockhampton, his solo stuff is awesome, “American Boyfriend” is rap for if you don’t like rap

KAYTRANDA – Haitian-Canadian DJ and record producer, part of the hip hop duo The Celestics

Big Freedia – a gay man but does not prefer a particular pronoun, called the queen of bounce

Le1f – rapper and producer, vocal about racism and sexuality in his music

Bisexual/Pansexual:

Princess Nokia – bi hip-hop artist, “little angel” was a blessed song and also it makes me cry

Chynna – bi lady, rap music that I REALLY like, “bets” is probably her gayest song

Taylor Bennet – bisexual rapper, one of my favorite male rappers actually, even if you don’t like rap you’ll like “broad shoulders”

Janelle Monae – Pan/bi, hip hop inspired alternative pop, just listen to everything she’s ever released

Angel Haze – Pansexual Nonbinary rapper

Meshell Ndegeocello – bisexual, has a wife and kids!!!! Her music is really interesting and unique but lady hip hop artists are always awesome so that doesn’t surprise me

Azealia Banks – bisexual, listen to 212

Queer/Unlabelled:

Kehlani – Queer, r&b tinged pop music, listen to “honey” and the song she did with Hayley Kiyoko

Kodie Shane – queer rapper, described her sexuality as “open minded” and like 90% of her music is about girls

Tiara Thomas – doesn’t like to label her sexuality, r&b/hip-hop, retro 1’s is the gayest song and also my favorite

Frank Ocean – prefers not to label his sexuality and actively rejects labels, r&b singer, basically changed my entire life and his music makes me feel so relaxed and happy

Tracy Chapman – never publicly stated her sexuality but was in a relationship with a woman, folk music, often called a “private lesbian” and literally all her songs are lesbian anthems so definitely listen to them

Transgender/Nonbinary:

Angel Haze – nonbinary pansexual rapper

Shea Diamond – she’s very active in advocating for lgbt rights and makes soul rooted music that incorporates blues, folk & gospel

Star Amerasu – makes electro-pop music that she released under the moniker Ah-Mer-Ah-Su, her album “rebecca” was gorgeous

Thank you to everybody who reblogged this so my useless lesbian self could find it. All of you are pals! 💗

one of my friends found radiooooo which is a site that streams music from any country from any decade (well, most countries/decade combos work) and we’ve been digging going on a quest to find what is rad

so far the following is good

50s/60s/70s/80s russia

70s cambodia

20s japan

80s ethiopia

80s india

let’s add 70s armenia and 70s japan to this list

actually im willing to bet 70s *any country will be amazing, it’s all been really good so far

and if you go for 90s india fast music you might get hit in the face with tunak tunak tun right away so get your meme groove on

one of my moms recommended 70s east germany and this proves true, this is weird and amazing in a good way

also set the mood to “weird” for maximum fun, it enhances literally every station
