UZMAN Releases Powerful New Single “Black Facts” in Honor of Black History Month 2026

Canadian rapper UZMAN has officially released his brand new single “Black Facts”, a powerful and culturally grounded rap record produced by IDS Beats, with arrangement by Beat Charge Inc. Released just ahead of Black History Month 2026, the song delivers a strong and uplifting message that celebrates the resilience, achievements, and positive contributions of Black people and Black culture despite a difficult historical journey.

“Black Facts” highlights social truths, cultural identity, and historical awareness, while encouraging pride, strength, and reflection. The record makes notable reference to significant historical events, including the Tulsa tragedy, and suggests that many present-day behavioral patterns and social realities are deeply connected to the course of Black history. 

Black History Month is officially observed in February in both the United States and Canada, while Germany informally observes the period during the same month. Other countries such as the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the Netherlands recognize Black History Month at different times of the year, most commonly in October. With this global context in mind, “Black Facts” contributes to the wider international reflection on Black heritage, legacy, and progress.

The release follows UZMAN’s 2025 culturally focused single “August Free (Emancipation Anthem)”, which was selected by Emancipation Month International as its official anthem supporting the expansion of Emancipation Month observances worldwide. Together, both records reinforce UZMAN’s continued commitment to cultural awareness, and historical reflection.

“Black Facts” is now available on Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music, iTunes, and all major streaming platforms.

Luciano and Aaron Splendid Celebrate Lifelong Brotherhood on New Single “Friends Forever”

Renowned reggae icon Luciano and emerging roots singer Aaron Splendid have come together for a powerful new collaborative single titled Friends Forever, officially released on all major streaming platforms on February 1, 2026.

As the title suggests, Friends Forever is about a lifelong friendship that has stood the test of time. Aaron Splendid and Luciano have known each other since their early years, long before Luciano rose to international acclaim as one of reggae’s most respected voices. Despite Luciano’s global success and decades-long career as a leading figure in conscious reggae, the bond between the two artists has remained strong, rooted in mutual respect and loyalty.

The production of Friends Forever carries its own compelling backstory. The song’s original rhythm was created by Jermaine Gordon, also known as Star Social, an accomplished producer and artist. However, when it came time to mix the track, the original rhythm files could not be located. Determined to preserve the project, Aaron Splendid enlisted Lamar Thompson of Audiotraxx Productions, who reconstructed a new rhythm layered over the original foundation before completing the mixing and mastering process. 

Friends Forever was released on So Splendid Records, Aaron Splendid’s independent label, and was distributed by Maria Jackson 27, ensuring worldwide availability across all digital music platforms.
