McKinley Dixon is a rapper from Richmond, VA. He debuted with the album Who Taught You To Hate Yourself? in 2018. The music was a perfectly-balanced amalgamation of orchestral instruments and hip-hop music. Along with the album's jazz infusion, it was also praised for his lyrics which made this a stand-out collection of songs. McKinley is one of the very few artists who properly manage to describe racism, police brutality and the resulting self-loathing.
