About Music For The Movement/Black History Always:
The “Music For The Movement/Black History Always” EP is set for release February 26. The EP is the second volume in the ongoing project between ESPN’s The Undefeated and Disney Music Group. The project reimagines iconic protest songs by and for Black America as a way to examine the progress we’ve made on civil rights.

Tobe Nwigwe’s interpretation of Melvin & The Blue Notes’ (featuring Teddy Pendergrass) “Wake Up Everybody,” is plaintive and celebratory at once, and is available now. The song explores society’s shortcomings and encourages humanity to fight for a brighter future in which we take care of our elderly, education is prioritized, and drug addiction is eradicated. Houston-based Nwigwe captured the nation’s attention with a transcendental live rendition of “Wake Up Everybody” on the Presidential Inauguration Committee’s “We Are One” livestream event.

The EP is part of a larger “Black History Always” initiative at ESPN. The campaign reflects the sentiment that Black history is made every day; from former California Senator Kamala Harris becoming the first woman of color to hold the office of Vice President of the United States, to Amanda Gorman’s words inspiring a nation, Black America’s story cannot be relegated to a single month.
