Jake Lloyd’s genre-blind soul rock and Deezie Brown’s upbeat rhymeslaying double down. “Interspersing tuneful hooks with clever, inspired bars, the project spotlights struggle as subtext to a rejoicing of Black excellence, perseverance, and ownership,” opined the Chronicle upon Geto Gala’s debut EP in 2021. Singing zoologist Lucas Miller opens. – Raoul Hernandez
