Black YouTubers to check out ASAP
Like the great Soulja Boy (Aka the first man on the moon) has instilled in the culture, all you need these days is a computer and some creativity to get your dreams going. Lately, we've been on Black YouTube heavy taking notes from some of the dopest creatives, in fashion, Hip Hop and more. We've picked up some valuable insight and genuinely been entertained with the content we've tapped into, so in typical Gritty Vibes fashion, we'd like to share it with you all. Here's 5 dope Black YouTubers that every creative should be subscribed to.
Brema
https://youtu.be/saEyNLY4RpI As we've tried to navigate selling our own merch, we've been on an intentional quest to find Black YouTubers who have been there and done that. Brema is the mind behind Unfinished Legacy, and if you're looking for upcoming streetwear brands, definitely check them out.

Subscribe to Brema to learn how to run a streetwear brand, how to plan a drop, etc. He also has some dope photography and cinematography videos too which we dig.
Nakisha Wynn
https://youtu.be/ZGlJr0954qo Nakisa Wynn shares videos weekly on how to make money blogging, blogging tips for beginners, youtube tips for bloggers, social media marketing tips, entrepreneurship vlogs, and productivity hacks for busy mompreneurs. In my continuous search to optimize this here blog and ensure the best possible experience for my readers, I came across her content and have been genuinely intrigued and informed. 10/10 would recommend.
Nathan Zed
https://youtu.be/xYJnsLUywik Nathan Zed's content features a little bit of everything, from his opinionated takes on TV/Film to his own comedic skits. He caught our eye with his "Lost Art" series though, and if you're a musician, or even if you just have an appreciation for the culture like us. You should definitely tap in. In the videos like the one above, Nathan Zed goes in depth on the importance of elements that most musicians don't consider like album rollouts, cover art and sequencing. He has a wide frame of reference when it comes to music and his edits and comedic takes make for an enjoyable watch throughout.
Curtiss King
https://youtu.be/6Hv0Iqyr_L4 It's always dope to hear it direct from someone who's been where you'd like to be. For aspiring music producers, the channel you should frequent is Curtiss King. His production credits include rappers such as Kendrick Lamar, Ab-Soul, E-40 and MURS and he shares his process for the world to see. Along with the creative side of things, he also shares advice for music producers, like how to make money as a producer, how to grow, collaborate and more.
Tailored Penguin Media
https://youtu.be/cDUla_yBOTU Tailored Penguin Media is a criminally underrated page in which the founder James Johnson documents and creates stories in the Dallas Texas area. We've followed them for a minute now, and to see Johnson's work continue to evolve as a filmmaker is a dope sight for sure. We particularly like his "Seen" series in which he documents creatives, entrepreneurs and notable artists in his city and beyond. Tap in if you'd like to check out some dope interviews and content!
WRLDINVSN Clothing Company
https://youtu.be/JVnRBq9KBO8Okay, we can count but here's a bonus for you. WRLDINVSN is a seven figure Clothing Company that got started with just $120 (You read that right). Their channel has various "How to start a clothing company" videos along with content on how to screenprint and how to market your clothing brand as well. The founders are super inspirational and share game about how they obtained and maintained their success. It's definitely a must-subscribe.
