Roy Kinsey – “Blackie: A Story by Roy Kinsey” (Release)

I’ve been meaning to share Roy Kinsey‘s new Blackie album for a handful of weeks, but I’ve been behind on most things blog-related. Either way, if you clicked on this link, I suggest you head over to Billboard to read an interview they did with the Chicago artist and listen to Roy’s latest opus. Purchase and listen via iTunes or Roy’s website.


blackie: a story by roy kinsey, is the 4th studio album by chicago born, queer-identified, rapper and librarian, roy kinsey. this new, highly anticipated release, is a message-oriented project, covering the effects of racism, the Great Migration, addiction, violence, mental illness and sexuality.
