Jamila Woods' album 'Legacy! Legacy!: Beacon for a type of self-empowerment

Each track on second album by Chicago-based poet, singer, activist, and teacher is named after a cultural icon who inspired Woods and shaped her identity as an artist and individual. "'Legacy! Legacy!' dapples in R&B, funk, rap, jazz, and even some electronica", and is "a beacon for a type of self-empowerment informed by the predecessors who built and shaped culture". PopMatters gives it high mark of 9 out of maximum 10 stars.
