Emma McIntyre/Getty Images While it may seem like Black-focused media is at a high these days, the reality is only 4% of all media in the U.S. is Black-owned.

Noname’s ‘Sundial’ pursues a hip-hop revolution

Sundial is against sitting idle, and calls not just to hear its own voice, but to enter into conversation in the griot tradition of call and response.
