I am getting sucked into the hype of this album and I haven't even listened to it yet. I love it already

High five to the Somali sister

While the album has whipped up a social media frenzy over Beyoncé’s lyrics, brimming with rage and accusations of infidelity, the quiet moments in between offer a thoughtful counterpoint. The words are those of Shire, a 27-year-old born in Kenya to Somali parents, who published her first pamphlet Teaching My Mother How to Give Birth in 2011 and went on to win the inaugural Brunel University African Poetry Prize in 2013.

The sister is talented mashallah.

BV, I haven't listened to any of the songs either. So I was like let me see what the fuss is about it. There are so many tweets about the album alluding to Jay z cheating, so I googled it. Some of the lyrics are jaw dropping :dwill:

Wonderful. I am glad to hear that her work is being appreciated by a whole other mainstream audience.

Which means bigger things are to come.
