ATTT hopes you have a fantastic Black History Month. One thing you might not know about is the history of Black musicians in the genre of hard rock. It should be of no surprise that the lists of greats in this category goes miles beyond Jimi Hendrix. To help us explore Black culture in hard rock, punk and metal, we have enlisted one who knows this category inside and out. Chicago's own Oscar Jordan grew up loving hard rock and metal, something most of his friends were puzzled by, It spoke to him and he immersed himself in the thriving underground Black hard rock scene, which continues to thrive to this day,. In TOP TEN BLACK ICONS OF HARD ROCK, we uncover some possibly hidden gems and give this excellent subgenre its rightful due. Picks 10-6 are featured here in Part 1.
Oscar J. Jordan is a mensch of a human. He's also a great writer and actor in addition to being a great musician. Follow him on the socials!
