new music: stream ‘ill clinton presents vol 2’ featuring the great georgia anne muldrow #soundcheck

Over vintage soul beats, Georgia Anne Muldrow delivers some of her best lines on “A Brother Like Ezell” off ‘Ill Clinton Presents vol 2.’ The collaboration with Moses West and ill Clinton eulogizes Mike Brown, exhorting people to rise up and not let him have died in vain. Followed closely by “Get Up (All My People),” the mixtape sets its sights on empowerment and dismantling oppression. While the record flags a bit in its back half, a deep bench of collaborators keeps the highlights high. ill Clinton’s beats have a playfulness and drive, particularly on the surreal closer “I Heart Matt Locke.” And Muldrow’s vocals drive home that she is one of the most essential vocalists working today.
