The Chicago rapper and poet is among the greatest lyricists of her generation. In asking tough questions of the art she practices, her third album reveals a fearless and visionary performer.
We begin by gazing into the"Black Mirror" with her. It clamps around us like a dystopian prison and she leverages her verse into escape routes and diversions. She wants to break free of time:"Shadowbox the sundial 'til sundown.
Her fearless merging of archetypes and yugas , of delights and devastations, is what makes her effortlessly visionary. She's not trying to be a martyr to unreasonable levels of decency in the face of adversaries, nor is she aimlessly skipping into combativeness for attention. You can feel her deliberating, even about how to follow the advice of Sun Ra — to make a mistake and do something right.
Every epic requires a little intrigue and blasphemy, and as a subtle epic hero of this music, Noname is doing her job wellShe makes you think without being elitist, she rouses some to anger without any talk of violence. How many rappers can say the same, as the ticker on the genre approaches the past like a beggar for redemption? When a quiet redeemer comes with a brand new approach to time itself, it makes sense she would be a little ostracized.
