“Maybe that’s how forgiveness feels.”

Yebba’s latest album, Jean, isn’t about healing. It’s about what remains after grief: Time passes. The language changes. Grief doesn’t disappear, it changes shape.

REVIEW: Stogie T – ANOMY

This isn't just an album — it’s a moral excavation. Stogie T maps disorder, ambition, and history with the precision of a philosopher-poet, and refuses easy answers.
