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.
After two highly-sucessful Savages records, singer Jehnny Beth decided to go solo with the record 'To Love Is To Live'. NBHAP author Louisa Zimmer called the French artist to find out more about her most personal work to date.
