Episode 456: McKinley Dixon RiYL

    • Arts

The third in a trilogy, For My Mama And Anyone Who Look Like Her is McKinley Dixon’s most personal and deeply-felt work to date. The musician has taken in new experiences and explored new sounds, all while looking to explore stories that don’t get told nearly enough on record. Like much of Dixon’s work, the album sets thoughtful hip-hop verses to live jazz instrumentation. It’s electric and vibrant the way the best hip-hop albums are. Ahead of the LP’s release, Dixon joined us to discuss his history, recent stint as a farm hand and where he seeing jazz-hip-hop heading into the future.
