“Carrying the legacy of the Black Wall Street community,
Fire in Little Africa is a body of work filled with purpose and prolific storytelling. I am honored and feel privileged to have Motown Records/Black Forum partner with Dr. View, the Bob Dylan Center, and Guthrie Center to release this impactful hip-hop album.”
The project was recorded in Greenwood, Oklahoma over five days last year at studios set up at landmark locations throughout the city, including Greenwood Cultural Center. It was executive produced by Stevie “Dr. View” Johnson.
“
Fire in Little Africa has evolved into a communal hip hop movement and we’re excited that we get to share the flavor, history, and legacy of Black Wall Street with the world, in collaboration with the amazing leadership of the Motown/Black Forum family,” Johnson says.
