Noname: Sundial [self-released]
After years of anticipation, Noname has finally released her new album, Sundial. It features Jay Electronica, Eryn Allen Kane, $ilkmoney, billy woods, Stout, Common, Ayoni, and more, and Saba is among the producers. “Noname is not trying to sell herself as a revolutionary,” Alphonse Pierre writes in his review. “She’s also unafraid of biting self-reflection that leaves her own contradictions out in the open. In rap, where it’s so often about seeming indestructible, hanging yourself out to dry is a gutsy move.”
