MOCA Bound After Party with Mourning A BLKstar/Wildlife Soundz

One of the more compelling musical projects in Cleveland this year, Mourning [A] BLKstar brings together RA Washington and singers LaToya Kent, Kyle Kidd and James Longs. Take the hallmark example of their sound, “Field N***as, My Heroes,” which boasts an esoteric video catching traction on social media lately. That songs pairs the frenetic beats and aural washes of Washington’s DJ skills with Kent’s enticing and undulating vocals. You can find video footage of an April 24 gig on Youtube, which further showcases the onstage chemistry that backs up this powerful and enigmatic hybrid of musical ideas and traditions. (Eric Sandy
