Taken from For My Mama and Anyone Who Look Like Her
McKinley Dixon has followed up the excellent lead single to his forthcoming album For My Mama and Anyone Who Look Like Her. 'Swangin' follows 'make a poet Black' and shows a bouncier - but no less powerful angle from the Virginia rapper.

Built on a shaking, banging, rhythmic beat, Dixon alternately raps and layers treated vocal over instrumentals created by Josh Letjoux. The banging rhythm "had the feel of children banging on a lunch room table" Dixon noted.
The track follows last month's 'make a poet Black', which we called "a track that refuses to be pinned down", moving as it does between hip-hop and free jazz.
Following lst year's The House That Got Knocked Down EP and 2018's Who Taught You to Hate Yourself? and The Importance of Self-Belief, For My Mama and Anyone Who Look Like Her will be Dixon's first release on Spacebomb.
