Once upon a time (1994-1995) a few great men of music got together to embody what it meant to be Young, Talented and Black, and what it meant to support the message #BlackLivesMatter…The results were a smash hit titled “U Will Know”. The song was featured on one of my favorite movies- Jason’s Lyric, which also happened to be filmed right here in Houston, TX.

Sure, R.Kelly, After 7, Htown, Intro, Joe, Portrait, Lenny Kravitz, Rude Boys, DRS, Silk and Troop! Did I miss anyone?
Here’s Black Men United performing at the 1995 American Music Awards, “U Will Know!”
Jason’s Lyric was one of the best romantic “hood” loves. In time for Valentine’s Day, check out this nice movie collage made on youtube:
