Black Rainbows is here! This album represents so much to me–the culture, the pain, the beauty, & the artistic presence of the stories deeply a part of black history inhabiting #StonyIslandArtsBank. Thank you to everyone who helped bring this to life. I hope you all enjoy. xx🖤🌈

Experimental black music, from Sun Ra to Jimi Hendrix, has inspired a lot of Black Rainbows, including my track “Earthlings.” I was also inspired by the idea of radical empathy and the thought of embracing societal change and new realities.
