McKinley Dixon released his fourth full-length record "Beloved! Paradise! Jazz!?" in June of 2023. The album is named after the (unofficial) Beloved-trilogy by US-American author Toni Morrison and, similarly to the themes of the novels, explores feelings of love, loss, and pain found in the Black experience. NBHAP editor Felicia had the chance to sit down with the New York-based rapper to talk about family, the Harlem Renaissance, and remembrance.
For Mia Kemppainen's solo project Mio's Mountain, the longtime LCMDF member and her brother Matti created a striking, low-light visual world and storyline. We got them to go deeper into that world.
