The discussion is a powerful meditation on how music functions as a voice for working-class artists and an exploration of the political dimensions embedded within sound. It is a poignant reflection, especially considering that the conversation took place just one year after D’Angelo’s passing.

Coby Sey takes the lead in guiding the conversation, sharing personal insights as he delves into the nuances of musical history and the social context surrounding the art form. This reflection touches on the idea that everything musical is inherently political.
In their discussion, they unpack how art serves as a critical tool, examining the lives and legacies of those who dared to make music outside mainstream structures. The interplay between personal experience and broader social commentary creates a compelling portrait of musical life.
The conversation also touched upon specific works and artists, including Coby Sey’s exploration of the lead single ‘LEAVE’, providing a tangible focus for their philosophical musings on legacy and cultural impact.
This feature, published in Clash Magazine, captures a moment where musical artistry meets societal critique, offering a fresh perspective on the meaning and power of the music we consume.
