Do you remember earlier this year when we were excitedly anticipating Janelle’s new album? Noticed that we didn’t have to say much then about how good it was? Do you think the Associated Press would have Dirty Computer atop the best of 2018 for no reason? Did you really need the lead for this playlist, “Crazy, Classic, Life”, to make up your mind about Janelle’s powers? I thought as much!

I wrote as kid. (I'd die if you'd ever get your hands on those poems.) And I wrote as a teen. (We thought our raps would spearhead revolution.) I write these days to share my joys and perspectives. I am as subjective as they come. I found a bunch of blessed souls that are just as expressive. And Africa is all the better for it. (I think I never really changed.)
