The Music Gameshow w/ Host Christine

June is Black Music Month! From the icons who steered the way for others to the ones sampling and paving their own paths, black music artists have been shaping the way we listen to music across many genres. We’re learning more about music through trivia! Test your knowledge, join along and try to answer the questions before they’re revealed.

― Billie Holiday, Lady Sings the Blues
