For example, Pitchfork passed on serious coverage of all of our releases from black artists this year due to not being relevant enough. Some were at least lucky enough to get filler pieces and mentions in round-up articles. Meanwhile, serious coverage was given to... https://twitter.com/pitchfork/status/1310617531149963265">https://twitter.com/pitchfork...

I guess what I& #39;m trying to say is that Pitchfork didn& #39;t really need to write a whole new article to tell people that they find black artists misunderstood and measured by a different standard than their white peers.

I picked the records I did above because they came out during the same period we released records from black artists that received major coverage elsewhere, from labels and artists that I consider peers and sometimes friends.

It& #39;s not to say those records were not worthy of significant coverage, rather that records from black artists should be held to the same standard when it comes to coverage.
