@academicjuuz @DrYoFiggy Well race is a social construct so it’s actually not possible to “know” what black “looks” like. But it is absolutely possible for someone to deliberately & falsely claim heritages & cultures that they don’t belong to for personal gain.

Gospel really is the blueprint for musicality and vocal range. Gospel arrangements are so complex and creative that they push the voice and vocalist in beautiful ways, and that training translates seamlessly into other genres.
