afropunk mixtape #061: strength in struggle

Going into 2020, it can feel like the struggle is all around us. But this community is always strongest when it’s in the struggle. To kick off the new year, we’ve pulled together favorites from 2019 who inspire with their passion and righteous fury — like Algiers, SCARLXRD, and The Muslims — alongside artists who give us strength and remind us what we’re fighting for — including Kaytranada, Goldlink, and Shingai. Stream AFROPUNK Mixtape #061 below, and find your strength in the struggle. And for more about “Strength In Struggle,” read Emil Wilbekin’s Editor’s Letter.
