E non ci sono di mezzo dissolutezze, o chissà che altro: no, solo il destino. Questo è quello che è successo a Hyst, all’anagrafe Taiyo Yamanouchi: scoprire da un giorno all’altro che il fratello Justin se n’è andato, quel Justin che da metà anni 2000 si è fatto un nome nella scena rap come Jesto,…

It’s officially the last week of The Late Show. For one of his final episodes, Stephen Colbert paid tribute to some of the worst ideas the late-night show has had, including dressing Michael Keaton up as a pigeon. Monday night’s show opened with a bit featuring Keaton, who appeared outside Colbert’s office window as a literal bird man.

It turned out to be…

Genesis Owusu is an alt-rap MC with a prog-rock mind, fond of exploring the human condition in fabulist form. On his 2021 debut, Smiling With No Teeth, the Ghanaian Australian dynamo depicted the twin burdens of depression and racism as two black dogs gnawing at his conscience; for the 2023 follow-up, Struggler, he inhabited a character named The Roach, an unsubtle avatar for the underclass rising up against an omnipotent adversary dubbed God, who, in this case, was less a religious deity than a shadowy stand-in for capitalism and authoritarianism.But despite his affinity for elaborate world-building and comic-book characterization, Owusu…

About 15 years ago, Kwesi Darko, under his Blue Daisy alias, was hailed as the next Tricky or Burial or Flying Lotus or Massive Attack, depending on who you asked. His debut album, The Sunday Gift, offered all the playful energy associated with the experimental L.A. beat scene of the time, but rubbed with a distinctly London grit, Technicolor synths strobing across dark corners. He was tipped by tastemakers from Mojo to Mary Anne Hobbs and sent touring around the world—at which point Darko decided he’d had enough of other people’s expectations. Stubborn, mercurial, and determined to do things his…
