ALBUM SPOTLIGHT: Maverick City Music | Jubilee: Juneteenth Edition

Juneteenth is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the emancipation of all enslaved African Americans.

Now a federal holiday, Juneteenth derives its name from combining June and 19th: the anniversary of the order issued by Major General Gordon Granger on June 19, 1865, proclaiming freedom for slaves in Texas. The historical legacy of Juneteenth shows the value of never giving up hope in uncertain times.

In 2021, in celebration of Juneteenth, Billboard Music Award-winning music collective Maverick City Music released a new project, Jubilee: Juneteenth Edition. The album is a dual-side feature consisting of a live produced gospel A-Side and a Rap/R&B/Pop produced B-Side. 

Jubilee features a wide range of guest artists, including heavy-hitters from gospel, R&B, Pop and Rap: Ciara, Rapsody, Tamar Braxton, Jonathan McReynolds, Israel Houghton, Jekalyn Carr, and more. This album celebrates progress, faithfulness and freedom.
