"In its entirety, the LP observes a rapper, vocalist and performance artist inching closer to their purest and most challenging form. For all the right reasons. Once known for operating within the, at times, closed-minded realms of hip-hop, Mykki Blanco is kicking off all labels, barriers and conventions. `Stay Close To Music' is, in all sincerity, a masterpiece that seeks to amplify the voices that have been pushed aside for far too long".
