The newest release from Klassik is a cautionary message. It's one we've all heard before, but here, it's clear some of us need to be reminded about karma. In "All Comes Back" he warns "...you can run, you can hide, but in time your hand will show." The visuals, mostly in black and white, are simple yet crisp. Klassik sings lessons from the beach, reflecting on past dealings with inauthentic […]

Courtesy of the artist For most people walking a tight rope between multiple spaces and places can be a challenge. But not for Jean Dawson. If he had his way there would be no boundaries, in language, land music or imagery. Nothing displays this more than his video for "Pirate Radio". In this video he plays with the duality of images. He begins the video highlighting the connection between technology […]
SAULT's work reinforces the sonic connections between global Black communities — from Africa to the Americas — and brings in a multitude of voices to tell an undivided story. Across 12 releases over three years, the London ensemble SAULT has posed a number of increasingly existential questions: "Why do fools always have something to say?" (7, 2019), "Can you forgive your people?" (Untitled (Black Is), 2020), "Can't you see the […]
The work that so clearly went into sharpening Wizkid's delivery bristles against the listlessness applied to his writing. His voice alone can no longer sustain him. Fawaz Ibrahim Wizkid will not be rushed. Famous for teasing albums years before they drop, he's constantly driving his devoted fan base, Wizkid FC, into a frenzy on social media. But the long waits have often paid off. His 2020 full-length, Made In Lagos, […]

Who better to lead this cast in delivering that message than hip hop legend himself Kurtis Blow?He is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, record/film producer, B-boy, DJ, […]
Spirituals is Santigold's first album in six years. The artist's career has been defined by an ability to coax apparently disparate influences into cohesion. As frequently as music fans tend to point to the early 2000s as the dawn of our digital enlightenment, consider the ways those first few years online now feel like the dark ages. Bound by terrestrial radio formats, genres still mostly dared not mix on air […]
