Music has always been one of the most powerful ways to spark conversations about race, unity, and humanity—and “Brown” is a shining example of that truth. Written and performed by our very own Stephon Uthman Shakir, aka Universal Brother, this high-energy funk anthem draws its inspiration from the groundbreaking work of diversity educator Jane Elliott, whose “Blue Eyes/Brown Eyes” exercise forever changed the way the world understands prejudice and privilege. By blending Elliott’s timeless teachings with a bold, modern groove, “Brown” doesn’t just entertain—it educates, empowers, and unites.
Produced with infectious rhythm, punchy basslines, and lyrics that speak to the universal bonds we all share, “Brown” is more than a song—it’s a movement. Universal Brother channels decades of musical artistry and lived experience into a track that reminds us of one simple truth: we are all connected. Whether you come for the funk, the message, or both, this is music that makes you move and makes you think. And in a time when the world needs more bridges and fewer walls, “Brown” is a powerful reminder that unity begins with rhythm, respect, and the courage to listen.
