Juneteenth as an American holiday is integral to understanding our country as it is today. It commemorates the emancipation of the last slaves in the Confederacy, and is celebrated as the end of slavery in the United States. Yet, it remains to receive as much recognition as such an event deserves (it was only this week announced as a holiday for NY state workers).

It’s a chance to celebrate and support the black Americans that have contributed to making this country what it is. Black artists, business owners (like the owner of this very blog), and black people in general make immeasurable contributions to business, art, politics, and more. And in lieu of the recent killings and protests, it’s clear direct support for the black community is needed, musicians in particular. With the pandemic putting a lid on any live functions, many musicians are struggling to make ends meet.

The easiest way to support your favorite artists? Buy their albums. Bandcamp, in honor of Juneteenth, is looking to put some charitable dollars behind every purchase on their platform today. On this and every subsequent Juneteenth the platform will direct its usual revenue share to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund.

The event runs through midnight. Take a look through our list of black bass and dubstep producers below to see who you can support through Bandcamp.

Jizzy Fra

What to buy: Jizzy Fra’s “Worldly Winds Mixtape” is the perfect mix of lo-fi beats, hip-hop samples, and weird bass to literally just vibe out to.
