We gotta put Solange in the conversation as one of the most innovative artists of our generation...and she was that *before* A Seat at the Table.

Solange really has a knack for seamlessly blending trap artists on jazzy, ethereal, neo-soul tracks.

My skin is moisturized. Scalp oiled. Sheet mask in place. Water glass is full. Candles lit. My mind, body, and soul are ready to receive this blessing. #WhenIGetHome pic.twitter.com/hD2Md2xGIb

Black waves, black days
Black baes, black days
These are black-owned things
Black faith still can't be washed away
Not even in that Florida water
