Roulette Delgato curates empowering Black History Month playlist

Last month, we found out what the talented and multifaceted rapper, singer, model and all around artist Roulette Delgato was all about, and his plans to slay 2022!

We were so impressed by this electrifying and unique Portland, Oregon native that we wanted to know what music inspires and empowers his creative energy. So, in honor of Black History Month, Roulette Delgato has put together a Playlist of songs that help inspire him and keep him going as a queer Black man in 2022!


Kyle Jackson: What about these songs speak to you and your identity as a queer Black man in 2022?

Roulette Delgato: For me as a queer black man in 2022, it’s all about empowerment! A lot of the songs on my list make me feel extremely empowered and motivated to keep being me. I wanted my playlist to be fun, motivating, upbeat, and enjoyable for everyone. It is a mix of mainstream artists as well as local artist from my hometown town of Portland, Oregon.

KJ: There is definitely nothing wrong with representing for Black Joy! What is the significance of promoting Black Joy to you?

RD: Celebrating Black Joy is another reason why I chose so many uptempo tracks as well. The black experience has been a tough one and it’s important to not let our stories be forgotten. Press play and celebrate our culture, our experiences, and our continuous fight for equality!


Well, we definitely think this Playlist is a great way to celebrate true Black Joy in 2022! Check out Roulette Delgato’s Black History Playlist below, and share the joy with someone else!
