After the success of Beloved! Paradise! Jazz!? (featuring the single Run Run Run, music from the game FIFA 25, on the NOVA and Fip playlists) released in 2023, the Chicago rapper delivers a new Hip Hop Jazz gem. Influenced by The Roots, Mos Def, and Kendrick Lamar, McKinley offers conscious rap 2.0 where he pours out his feelings in marathons of literary references, with novelist Toni Morrison and Greek mythology sharing space with his personal reflections. He has surrounded himself here with a cavalcade of guests and friends: from the powerful singer Anjimile, Pink Siifu to trombonist Reggie Pace and harpist Eli Owens.
