What Critics Are Saying
about kevin anglade
“On THE BLACK BOX finds Anglade addressing subjects that are often avoided in mainstream music. His work explores capitalism, oppression, colonialism and complicated issues within the Black community, using hip-hop as a platform for reflection, criticism and conversation.”
— Stefano Meola (Raptology)
“By connecting music, research and written commentary, "The Black Box" develops beyond a conventional album release. Queens musician and scholar Kevin Anglade transforms research and lived experience into socially conscious hip-hop.”
- Frank Bell (Fame Magazine UK)
“Across 14 tracks, Anglade builds something closer to a cultural document than a conventional rap album, one that asks its listener to sit with uncomfortable questions rather than offering easy resolutions. What gives THE BLACK BOX its character is the sense that Anglade is working from research and lived observation simultaneously.”
- Danielle Holian (Other Side Reviews)
