Dominique Young Unique Has Already Won

Dominique Young Unique’s War Talk arrives the way she does—no preamble, no introduction, just directly at your sternum with the bass dropped low and everything she’s saying feeling non-negotiable. She was barely out of her teens and already sounded like someone who’d had the argument so many times she’d started skipping straight to the end. Florida via the internet, 2011, and I couldn’t stop replaying it.
