The time is now....PROTECT BLACK ART! In courtrooms across America, the trend of prosecutors using artists' creative expression against them is happening with troubling frequency. We've joined together with an unprecedented group of artists, industry leaders and legal experts to publish an open letter in @nytimes and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution calling attention to the racially discriminatory practice of treating rap lyrics as confessions.
With artists such as Camila Cabello, Coldplay, Drake, Future, J. Cole, Jack Harlow, John Legend, Lil Baby, Mary J. Blige, Meek Mill, Megan Thee Stallion, Post Malone, Roddy Ricch, and Travis Scott; companies including WMG, Universal Music Group, Sony Music Group, BMG, Kobalt, AEG Presents, Audiomack, Deezer, Live Nation Entertainment, SiriusXM, SoundCloud, Spotify, TIDAL, TikTok, and YouTube Music; orgs like A2IM, American Civil Liberties Union, Color of Change, PEN America, Recording Academy, and RIAA; and scholars from Columbia, Harvard, Howard, Princeton, Stanford, and Yale – the letter urges prosecutors to voluntarily end this practice in their jurisdictions and encourages legislators at the state and federal level to explicitly limit how creative expression can be used against defendants on trial. #ProtectBlackArt
