Whelan’s Upstairs • Wed 16th October 2025
McKinley Dixon is a Richmond-born, Chicago-based rapper and storyteller whose music blends intricate lyricism, rich instrumentation, and deeply personal narratives. His breakthrough came with For My Mama and Anyone Who Look Like Her (2021) and continued with Beloved! Paradise! Jazz!? (2023), both praised for their literary depth and exploration of grief, resilience, and identity.
Inspired by authors like Toni Morrison and themes of Southern heritage, Dixon’s work fuses hip-hop, jazz, and soul, creating immersive sonic landscapes. His forthcoming album, Magic, Alive! (out June 6th via City Slang), delves into loss, memory, and the search for meaning, further solidifying his reputation as one of hip-hop’s most visionary voices.
