Locuust aka YoursTruuly (album release), CENSORED Dialogue, Kardinal Bloo, Chucky Blk, Khxnid!

Not since Cakes da Killa (and probably more notably Tyler, the Creator) has an MC emerged from the sorely underrepresented queer and trans communities who can do damage on a beat. Trans lesbian rapper and producer Locuust (aka YoursTruuly) debuts what she calls a “coming-of-age project” – Apparent Incoherence. Locuust employs a flow that has shades of Kendrick, echoes of Queen Latifah, and a production style that shares oxygen with the likes of J Dilla and 9th Wonder to craft a thoughtful and honest exploration of gender dysphoria, finding love as a trans woman of color, and self-love. She’s joined by most of the album’s collaborators: Chucky Blk, CENSORED dialogue, Kardinal Bloo, and Khxnid. – Cy White
