Mykki Blanco – Cafe Paradiso (CD)
Product Details
Mykki Blanco emerged from the New York underground in the early 2010s, building a reputation for raw, confrontational performance that blurred the lines between rap, punk, and spoken word. Cafe Paradiso finds that restless energy turned inward, the product of years spent living across multiple continents and cities, making it one of the more genuinely peripatetic records in recent queer hip-hop history.
On Café Paradiso, Mykki Blanco is completely reborn, trading the persona - driven theatrics of his previous releases for something more interior and exacting. The record draws from the diverse, banal and yet idiosyncratic contexts of the artist's life in transit."Chameleonic" is one way to describe the artist known as Mykki Blanco, who has played many roles through his storied career: a rapper, a poet, a magazine editor, an advocate. Perhaps "fearless" better describes him; with high profile collaborations from the likes of Charli XCX, Teyana Taylor, Basement Jaxx, Blood Orange, Big Freedia, Kelsey Lu, Michael Stipe, Arca and Anhoni, Mykki has been recognised as a pioneer of queer-centric hip-hop who resonates across musicians of many genres and generations.This album is Mykki at their most direct - a coherent statement with collaborator FaltyDL and a massively listenable album for fans of LCD Soundsystem and New York Punk, packaged in striking
