Great article, and kudos to her for her efforts, even though I'm not personally a big fan of rap/jazz hybrids. I hope her new imprint provides some income, because you can't live the way she seems to for very long and not burn yourself out.

very interesting article. she sounds like a woman with a lot of courage and integrity. I wish her luck, for sure.

Good story. I hope she succeeds.

I think she will succeed in her way - but I doubt if her success will fit in with the idea of jazz/improvised music of anyone who posts here. To succeed at BN she will have to, I think, make the kind of compromises that will collapse any real hip hop/jazz collarboration into just another Glasper/bland fusion.

[Stefan Wood]

I agree.
