DOMi & JD BECK WHO ASKED? APESHIT / Blue Note Records The chaos duo is officially back, and WHO ASKED? is an absolute fever dream in the best way possible! Moving away from the long list of heavy guest stars from their debut, DOMi and JD BECK bring in a sinfonietta of classical players to execute a super-maximalist, orchestral jazz-indietronica vision. DOMi’s blindingly fast keyboard work and JD BECK’s impossibly tight live drumming collide to create a sound that feels […]
Courtesy of artist Their talent is undeniable. Their contribution to the culture is indispensable. They're the Black women in our playlists, on our screens and in our feeds. On Ladies First, Element Everest-Blanks talks with one of these remarkable women about their lives, their music and how they made their moment happen. Because it's not about who's next. It's about who's now. Los Angeles singer-songwriter Imani Archer is an emerging alternative pop and R&B artist whose music is rooted in vulnerability, […]
I had the absolute honor of sitting down with 414 royalty, my brother Brad Anthony Bernard—aka B.WYZDOM—on the latest edition of Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow right here on listener-supported HYFIN. We chopped it up heavy about the power of Black art, the deep roots of Milwaukee funk, and how he’s keeping that legacy alive and breathing in the city. We're bringing all that energy straight to the neighborhood for the return of the Community Arts & Funk Festival on Sunday, August […]

Whether you’re coming for the music, the fashion, the food, or the culture, here are my top 10 reasons to experience Black Arts MKE […]
Tyla – A*POP (FAX / Epic Records) Tyla continues to demonstrate a refined command over modern rhythm with A*POP, building upon the global success of her debut. Rather than resting on familiar formulas, the South African singer seamlessly weaves the signature log-drum bounce of Amapiano with lush, late-night R&B harmonies and international pop sensibilities. The production throughout the LP is clean, spacious, and deliberate, letting her effortless vocal agility take center stage without cluttering the bottom-end groove. The album shines […]

On Ladies First, Element Everest-Blanks talks with one of these remarkable women about their lives, their music and how they made their moment happen. Because it's not about who's next. It's about who's now. I sat down with Amanda Reifer, a fearless creative force representing Barbados and one of the Caribbean’s most compelling artistic voices. Blending […]
Syd – Beard (Free Lunch / Warner Records) Dropping on the exact same Friday as her fellow Internet bandmate, Steve LAcy (below), Syd delivers an absolute masterpiece of quiet confidence with Beard. The title itself is a brilliant, empowering flip—inspired by the upper-lip peach fuzz she was taught to hate, turned into a badge of unapologetic, outlier honor. Sonically, this 12-track coming-of-age snapshot is the kind of smoky, late-night driving music we’ve been begging for, working the mid-tempo valleys like […]
courtesy of artist I rarely sit down with an artist who embodies the spirit of independent artistry quite like Jordan Patterson. Born in North Carolina and raised in Los Angeles, she's built a reputation for blending soul, folk and indie influences into music that’s both intimate and fearless. Patterson's songwriting is poetic, her voice is unmistakable, and every song feels like an invitation into a deeply personal story. Whether she’s exploring love, identity, healing or self-discovery, she creates music that […]
