25 years ago today, New York City and the U.S.A in general was forever changed by the horrific terrorist attacks that destroyed the world-famous Twin Towers and claimed thousands of lives in a single summer morning.<\/p>\n

While September 11th brings back a handful of heart-wrenching memories with every passing anniversary, it\u2019s also made way for a few bittersweet ones as well when considering the beautiful music that was created in tribute to that fateful day.<\/p>\n

In an effort to never forget those who lost their lives, many artists from across multiple genres found ways over the years to express how they felt about what happened on 9\/11. Some have rapped about a hopeful future where terrorism doesn\u2019t exist, while others got more personal by melodically mourning a lover lost in the attacks. It\u2019s through the power of song that many musicians were able to make sense of a meaningless act of violence, and the message hit a little closer to home when the person singing the song just so happened to come from our culture.<\/p>\n

As we collectively commemorate the two full decades since America became stronger and more united as a nation through tragedy, we wanted to reminisce on a few musical moments created in memory of 9\/11 by some of our favorite Black artists. Whether it was from the perspective of a victim, a third-person critique of the government, a group effort to show the newfound unity or a simple ode to one of the greatest cities in the world, the lyrical message was not only delivered but also felt on a massive scale.<\/p>\n
