Hologram Dance
Tuesday, August 10, 2021 By Joy Lynn Clark I made this record around 2012 right after the Isis Spacejet Chronicles. After attempting to make a retro sounding record where I am singing, a voice inside my Head said, “why don’t you rap now?”. So this album is me as Dazee Dizzle. Although I love to rap I was a little scared. I thought that maybe the world doesn’t want a woman like me rapping. Somehow, I got my confidence back and decided to rap again.

Blackface The Album
By Joy Lynn Clark BMI 5/16/2016 This is one of the last records that I made on the Southside of Chicago. Just off of 19th street near Lozano Library.
