TBKS E58: The Redacted Episode

Loading player...
On our last official album review for 2021, we are diving into an incredible body of work called _Security Clearance_ from the talent creative stable known as Redacted Music Group. This group consists of poet, rapper, Neo-Soul/R&B singer-songwriter, Monelle; producer/singer-songwriter, IORDN; and Masilo The Healer who is a talented rapper, poet and songwriter. The album is a cutting edge, carefully crafted sonic journey, exploring themes of social injustice, spiritual decline, as well as expressions of joy, passion, courage, in the face of adversity. It draws inspiration from Rock, Drill, Jazz, Neo-Soul, Funk and a whole lot more!
