Citizen Cope 2017
Brooklyn-based Cope, born Clarence Greenwood, grew up living in places like Greenville, MS; Memphis, TN; Austin, TX; and Washington, D.C. His musical style is as complex and nuanced as any of the cities and towns where he’s lived, with rhythms and beats pulled from the blues, soul, R&B, and hip-hop song book and riffs and hooks inspired by the best in rock n roll and folk.
