I felt it in my bones. This song is a collective passionate outcry against racial injustice, from the voices of many of the top black female R&B singers, including SWV, En Vogue, TLC, Vanessa Williams, Monica, Aaliyah, and Me Shell Ndgeocello. Fire Track!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Various Atrists - Freedom (Theme From Panther)\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WQEnsvuyYh4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"background-color:#0a033c\"><strong><em>#5: Freedom: Black Panther Soundtrack (Dirty Dozen Rap Mix) (1995)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"background-color:#0a033c\">The duality to its R & B counterpart, this song is also featured on the Panther soundtrack. It it loaded with female hip hop heavy hitters such as Queen Latifah, Yo Yo, MC Lyte, Salt N Pepa, Left Eye and many more! A lot of power on one song!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Queen Latifah, Yo-Yo, TLC, MC Lyte, Nefertiti, Salt-N-Pepa, Patra, Meshell Ndegeocello - Freedom\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qxyxqVDjSzs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"background-color:#19025b\"><strong>#4: Rumble in the Jungle: The Fugees, A Tribe Called Quest & Busta Rhymes from the “When We Were Kings Soundtrack (1997)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"background-color:#19025b\">Anything pertaining to Muhammad Ali must be associated with mastery, and this track was no different.

If we are one, why do we treat each other so terribly? This question applies in our families, friendships, relationships, community-ships, and total humaness. I love the reminder that all is one, and the degrees of separation are but illusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"MAZE ft Frankie Beverly - We Are ONE 1983\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Q2lS283bmKM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"background-color:#0b033f\">May these songs stimulate your inspiration for more Umoja, or the Kwanzaa Principle of UNITY in your life!
