Black musicians have played a pivotal role in shaping the eclectic Boston music scene over the years, leaving an undeniable mark on the city’s cultural landscape. From jazz to funk, hip-hop to soul, and everywhere in between, their contributions have been instrumental in defining the sound and spirit of Boston’s music scene.

One of the most significant chapters in Boston’s musical history was the emergence of jazz in the early 20th century, where black musicians were at the forefront. Wally’s Café Jazz Club in the South End became synonymous with jazz movement for music lovers in Boston.
The iconic venue quickly became a platform where both local artists and touring musicians could showcase their skills. Legendary jazz musicians like Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday, and Charlie Parker graced Boston stages throughout the 1900s.
Trending on Billboard
As decades passed, the influence of black musicians in Boston expanded beyond jazz. During the ‘60s and ‘70s, the city witnessed the rise of funk, disco, and soul.
Donned the “Queen of Disco” early in her career, Boston native Donna Summer established herself as one of the most impactful musicians from the area. During the 1970’s alone, she topped the Billboard Club Cchart eleven times after releasing classic tracks like “Hot Stuff,” “Love to Love You Baby,” and “MacArthur Park.”
Bell Biv DeVoe is an R&B ensemble from Boston, Massachusetts. As individual members of New Edition launched their own careers, Bell Biv Devoe decided to continue as a trio. They released their debut album Poison in 1990 which debuted on the Billboard Hot 200 Album Chart. That same summer, the single “Poison” peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Recently, hip-hop has emerged as a dominant force in Boston’s music scene, with black artists at the forefront of the movement. Acts like Guru, Cousin Stizz, and Van Buren Records have worked tirelessly over the last 20 years to establish a regional sound in the city.
Boston bred rapper Cousin Stizz made his mainstream debut after the release of his mixtape Suffolk County, earning over 12 million streams on SoundCloud alone. His first-ever Billboard chart appearance came from the 2017 single “Cousin Stizz.”
The rise of black hip-hop artists serves as a voice for the underrepresented black & brown communities in Boston. Many Hip-Hop artists in Boston have been using their voices as a catalyst for social change, inspiring a new generation of artists to push boundaries and challenge the status quo.
The influence of black musicians on the Boston music scene cannot be overstated. Their creativity, innovation, and resilience have enriched the city’s cultural fabric, shaping its identity as a hub of musical excellence and diversity. As Boston continues to evolve, the legacy of these artists will continue to be celebrated, inspiring future generations to keep the pride of Boston’s music scene alive.
