weekend music: wonderland records, hell you talm bout
janelle monae’s wondaland crew kicked off their eephus tour in philly by joining a black lives matter protest. hell you talm bout was released the next day as a tribute and rally cry for the movement. it gave me chills to hear the names of so many black lives lost by state-sanctioned violence.
weekend music: etta bond, feels like
hope your weekend is bomb.
