Much of their success can be attributed to Bruno Mars, who had a successful career before making the group with his friend Anderson Paak. The album “Evening with Silk Sonic” has a 70’s groovy vibe to it, and the way the songs are arranged tell an exciting story.

Sikumi (On The Ice)

“There are many reasons why I love this film, there is dog sledding, a sense of uneasiness at times, a murder, not knowing what is going to happen next, along with many more similar reasons. I personally love murder mystery movies and shows. Even though Sikumi (On The Ice) is not a mystery, it still give a sense of mysteriousness concerning Taqi’s actions and decisions.…”

Self-Love in Sampa the Great’s The Return

“My Zambian-ness, or my African-ness, meant nothing...because you wanted to claim this thing as [being] Australian….I started my professional career there. That is not a loss. This thing to claim a person, claim a being, is very racist.” -Sampa

Album Review: Mass For Dead Insects

I noticed all the reviews on the site have a little intro. Should I say something like “Join me, reviewer DJ Jimmy, as I relearn what music means to me with Mass For Dead Insects by MSBR & Blazen y Sharp”? Or maybe just put this whole thing in verbatim, that could be fun.
