MCKINLEY DIXON

"Comparisons range from Noname to Kendrick Lamar, all of which gives an idea as to the sheer dexterity of his challenging penmanship."

Chicago-based McKinley Dixon unveils his next chapter with new album Beloved! Paradise! Jazz!? Inspired by the Toni Morrison trilogy and its entanglement with the Black experience, the album blends a virtuosic display of lyricism and symphonic instruments creating tracks that are as catchy as they are emotional. With critical praise already being lauded, The Guardian has deemed him one of “2023’s most promising musical newcomers,” predicting his “gorgeous 2023 full-length looks set to put him on the map.” Featuring Angelica Garcia and Hanif Abdurraqib among many others, the album is set for release on June 2, 2023.
