First things first: today is Bandcamp Friday and for once, I actually have a new album coming out (in two weeks!) when it happens. If you’ve been thinking about pre-ordering ROLLERCOASTER, now is the perfect time because for 24 hours, I get 100% of the sales instead of Songtradr or Tunegrabr or whatever tech company that owns Bandcamp now taking a cut. You can pre-order the green moss vinyl below:
As you can see above, I’m on the cover the April 2024 issue of RANGE. You can read Sierra Riley’s thoughtful feature article here. It really beautifully captures what I’m trying to say with this album
I wrote an essay for ByBlacks.com about the pitfalls of being Black and online, including an incident that I haven’t mentioned here where a childhood photo of me was used in an internet ad by a clothing company without my permission
NPR wrote about ROLLERCOASTER in their upcoming Spring 2024 album roundup
Exclaim! made “My Computer” a staff pick and Calum Slingerland had some well-considered things to say about the track and the video
ROLLERCOASTER got a 4 N review in NEXT Mag
I spoke to Clash Magazine about the impact of Madvillainy after 20 years
Come see me live this spring:

4/20 // Toronto, ON (TD Music Hall) with DijahSB
