Rapper, painter, poet, model (and plenty other facets of an artiste) Racquel Jones’ new release tackles hard truths, justified anger, introspection and demands for change. “Sacrililedge” is a standout single—a sonic and conceptual counterpart to faith-based interludes like “Doxology.” On top of the album’s industrial, Yeezus-esque production treatment, Jones proves she is a commanding lyricist, eclectic emcee, deep-thinker and activist. She reminds us throughout IgnoRANT (and on “Ugly”) she doesn’t “give a fuck about social constructs...” An interesting dichotomy to come from the Miss Jamaica Universe runner-up. – Joseph Maltese
