Start PRIDE weekend at the album release party for Roy Kinsey’s latest album Dandelions: Gods Don’t Cry
At its core, Dandelions: Gods Don’t Cry is about resilience, transformation, and self-acceptance. The dandelion, often dismissed as a weed, symbolizes Blackness, queerness, and survival—thriving in places where it wasn’t meant to, adapting, and still standing tall.Through the 13-track journey, the album explores:- Personal and collective Black histories, linking past and present struggles to the beauty of endurance.
- Queer identity and self-reclamation, navigating the world as both marginalized and divinely powerful.
- Family, grief, and healing, with storytelling that honors legacy while challenging systemic erasure.
Musically, the album is immersive and cinematic, weaving together hip-hop, soul, and spoken word. It is meant to be experienced as a living, breathing piece of literature, aligned with Roy’s mission to elevate rap as a literary art form.Doors at 7PMShow at 8PMStay for the afterparty!Album Purchase:
