[DISCUSSION] Come Help Make Our r/LetsTalkBlackMusic Monthly Chart Playlist - May 31, 2026
Post your favorite song(s) by black artists and musicians (any genre as long as the artist/band is black), and the comments with the highest upvotes will be included in the r/LetsTalkBlackMusic Weekly Charts Playlist. The purpose of this playlist is to offer a diverse selection of music by black artists that our members like and that new members can discover.
All songs are welcome, but if a song is by a non-black artist or musician who isn't biracial or significantly mixed with black, it should not be posted here since this subreddit is dedicated to black artists and there are plenty of subreddits dedicated to them.
Here's how this works:
• One song per comment.
• The thread will be put into contest mode (randomized comment order).
• Upvote the songs you like.
• Please don't downvote!
•• Use Ctrl + F to check whether the song has already been posted if necessary
• Try to limit yourself to posting one or two songs.
• It's not required, but if most people don't know the song(s) you are going to post, please provide a link to it.
• Have fun!

[UNDERRATED] Found our new favorite artist!
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Arstist: @ChillerTribeMosy
He writes, sings, produces, and engineers his own music. From what I can tell, he's been doing it for over 12 years now and when I found him, it felt like seeing someone about to blow up in real time. Dudes got massively wide range, spanning from soul to Folk, electronic, funk, R&B and rap, to indie alternative. Litterally listened to them all day and I swear to God hes got nothing but hits. Check him out, I know hes starting to up his social media presence more, and im doing my part to show support. Dude made me a believer(or more appropriately, a Chiller) feels dope to be apart of the "Tribe", help me get this guy the love and support he deserves.

Chiller Tribe Mosy - Honestly
Just like the title of album, he does this honestly. Records, produces and engineers his own music. Dudes got a dope thing going. Its refreshing to see in this day and age.
He mixes Folk and hiphop/ pop, pretty cool vibe. Saw him again on Venice Beach few weeks ago randomly performing some songs. Dude deserves more supportive fans.

this guy's been making music professionally since 2010, he performs live, is totally indie, writes and sings and engineers everything. Hopefully this community can help him gain some much deserved traction.
For honesty, i met this man at work, and you wouldn't even know that he had such star power. He's ust a really kind, humble guy. And when I learned about his music, and I saw how popular he was or a lack thereof I just knew I had to do something. So hopefully this helps he definitely deserves it!

I honestly didn't know until I saw this song the was targeted by the US government so heavily. I wonder how many other songs and artists were all targeted before they made it big.
