Heirloom

Black Gold opens this like a statement of purpose — horns, a steady pocket, her voice sitting right in the pocket with it. This is a singer-rapper record that doesn't split the difference awkwardly; Spider's Jam is where the rap side takes over and actually bites. São Paulo is the detour that makes the sequencing interesting instead of predictable. Renewed closes it out patient and unhurried, which fits.
