We're back with another edition of Not 97's Quarantine Sessions, recorded live on our Twitch account. Today's episode features Sidney Madden, an influential editor and producer at NPR Music. Sidney introduces a powerful unreleased track from Kayla Steen. We dive into the sounds of two budding African music scenes with a dance-ready delivery from Ghana’s Odartei and an infectious single from Nigerian artist Merry Lynn. Tasha delivers a heart wrenching ode to black womanhood on “Lullaby”, In Kind builds his own world on “One Way”, and Uno Hype inspires with “Elevate.” Amongst much more.
