How does the repertoire you’ve chosen relate to issues of race, class, gender, sexuality, or other definers of identity

Paper instructions:
The topic is “Rhythm & Blues”. The paper has to 2.5 to 3 pages long in APA format. These questions have to be answered in the paper:
1. How does the repertoire you’ve chosen relate to issues of race, class, gender, sexuality, or other definers of identity? Bear in mind that while lyrics and performance are important, you must address musical issues as well.
2. Cite 3-4 scholarly articles
3. Provide a listening example of the genre that can be played. Include lyrics, if your music has lyrics, and some guide or explanation of the music itself that guides the listeners through the performance. Videos found online may be used if the video enhances or explains the music in some way. (You really don’t have to do this part). **
