Mykki Blanco - Stay Close To Music - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

It's been just over a decade since the moniker Mykki Blanco was created - first as a video art project portraying a teenage female character (inspired by Lil Kim's Kimmy Blanco alter ego) posting vlogs and raps on social media, but it inevitably evolved into a vehicle of self-discovery in the artist's journey of forming their personal self-identity. The first official music under this artist name Mykki Blanco dropped in the form of an EP entitled Mykki Blanco & The Mutant Angels in 2012. In the time since, they have pushed hip-hop to some of it's most untethered bounds, melding noise and experimental elements with club and trap sounds, whilst also forging a uniquely subversive path within a genre historically entangled in a problematic ideological web of misogyny, homophobia, and transphobia. And while Blanco has been widely recognized as leading the charge as a pioneering trailblazer in the so-called 'queer rap' sub-genre, the music on Broken Hearts and Beauty Sleep represents such significant musical evolution toward eradicating the confines of genre categories and smashing the previous perception of the ceiling of their potential reach.

Let's just say that Jeffrey Halford's feel for blues, soul, country and rock n roll is something you have got to hear. Lo-Fi dreams focuses on organic live performances where you can feel the warmth of the tubes up in your throat. InchI am here to place Jeffrey Halford in the Pantheon of great singer-Songwriters with Randy Newman, John Fogerty and John PrineInch L.A Weekly. Dirty linen called Halford InchHemingway armed with a swampy blues guitar.

After a year of incredible achievements, the multi-platinum artist Blanco announces his highly anticipated new album InchInnamoratoInch, featuring an extraordinary collaboration with MINA, the eternal voice of Italian music. The eagerly awaited return comes after the incredible chain of milestones achieved by the artist in the last year, including 2 gold records, over 2.6 billion streams on platforms, a 35-date sold out tour, the announcement of two unmissable stadium appointments and an already profound imprint on the Italian music scene.
