The Chicago rapper Noname (aka Fatimah Nyeema Warner) cut her teeth at poetry slams and open mics around the city. In 2013, she moved into the limelight with a guest spot on “Lost,” from Chance the Rapper’s breakout mixtape Acid Rap. After lending other features to tracks by Mick Jenkins, Saba, and Kirk Knight, Noname stepped out with her excellent debut album, Telefone, in 2016. The record was presented through the lens of important telephone conversations she’s had throughout her life. With a series of festival appearances scheduled for 2018, she’s still on the rise.

Over the last decade, the language and aesthetics of social justice have become the social currency of the music industry (and pop culture at large), ultimately yielding the myth that representation solves everything. This is one story of how we got there, and where we carefully go from here.
