DESCRIPTION
Details: Limited colored vinyl LP pressing. "Blurring the lines between the personal and the political," (FADER) McKinley Dixon calls the late Toni Morrison the greatest rapper of all time; and the way he tackles topics like survival, violence, and religion within the expansive landscape of the Black experience, evokes her novels. It is from the title of Morrison's Beloved trilogy where he finds the title of his album: Beloved! Paradise! Jazz!? His 2021 debut album For My Mama and Anyone Who Look Like Her was a game changer, as Dixon set his sights on heartache and grief. "I was making these really dense and chaotic songs, stuffing whatever thought I had into five and a half minutes," Dixon says of that project. Beloved! Paradise! Jazz? is an attempt at channeling different impulses. Sometimes rough and other times delicate, this record is a journey into is a journey into the psyche of McKinley Dixon, with all of the of the attendant peaks and valleys.
