Every new track that gets releases on this project makes me more excited to ultimately get this one in the mail. What a unique talent! Playful structure and voicings. I can see easy comparisons in sound to Kendrick in places. Loving every track. Give us more!
Favorite track: make a poet Black.

about
For My Mama And Anyone Who Look Like Her, McKinley Dixon’s debut album on Spacebomb, is the culmination of a journey where heartbreak and introspection challenged him to adapt new ways of communicating physically and mentally, as well as across time and space.
The album challenges Black people to revisit more than one timeline and question everything they’ve been taught about processing grief in order to rebuild their present and future selves. There’s no definitive end to the darkness and trauma of the past, but this album is a stepping stone in Dixon’s pursuit of moving forward, and being a voice for Black people still learning how to advocate for themselves.
“The best way to sum up this album is: I was sad, I was mad, and now I’m alive,” Dixon explains. “These things I talk about on the record have had harmful and brilliant effects on my timeline, and have forced me to be cognizant of the fact that living is complex. Rap has allowed me the language to communicate, and be someone who can communicate with people from all over. Knowing how far I’ve come, I think people will find trust in the message I’m sending.”

This album is so great end-to-end, it's hard to pick a single track to suggest to folks. I always recommend that people check out Boomer, Mustang, and Flagey God to get them started.
