“The artist community has the reach, influence and power to force this nation to live up to its promise,” Prophet, co-founder and co-chair of BMAC, said in a statement. “BMAC artists have always provided the soundtrack that inspired or provoked change in this world. As others turn down the volume around the issue of racial and social justice, we salute a company who’s willing to keep the noise rolling loud.
Speaking further on the new initiative, Tariq Cherif, co-founder and CEO of Rolling Loud, said in a statement: “Rolling Loud is proud to use our platform to help thein its mission to keep the fight for racial and social justice alive. Hip-hop is rooted in community and it’s important for all members of the culture to do their part.”
Shawn Holiday, co-founder and co-chair of BMAC’s Executive Leadership Council, added: “BMAC salutes Rolling Loud for stepping up and their willingness to use the platform to support racial equity and social justice. This is a bold and strong move from one of the leaders in the live space. We are moving past hashtags and into true action.”
Earlier this year, Rolling Loud Miami attracted more than 75,000 daily attendees to the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fla. — where Travis Scott, Post Malone and A$AP Rocky headlined in July. Months later, in October, Rolling Loud New York was another hip-hop hit, with headliners J. Cole, 50 Cent and Scott.
Next week, Cole, Kid Cudi and Future will headline Rolling Loud California, where BMAC will strive to raise awareness for social justice and equality.
