In.
Not a fan of the person (or the social media presentation of who she is) but Iβm a huge fan of the music, so Iβll listen Day 1.

I'm actually fukkin with this album. shyt is nice. Real easy listen.
Fav tracks (so far): Jay Electronica joint, boomboom and afro futurism
Noname is one of those artists you just gotta ignore on social media and wait for the music lol. If I didn't already know what she was capable of, I would've been thrown off.

I remember stadiums so packed
The trees outside the gates heavy with black joy
Just to get a glimpse of the comrades
Our boys back from the bush
The crowd sway to the gospel of liberation
Poised for revolution
[Little red book in my father's breast pocket, the ground shook]
History movin' underfoot, I was on his shoulders on tenterhooks
The leader spoke slow and focused, powerful pauses
Flanked by soldiers with dead eyes
The sun catch his wire rimmed glasses
Told him roll the boulder, lo and behold
Lazarus was alive
Squintin' in the light, stinking of death
Mouth dry, red dust, a ghoulish prize
They never say what happened after, no surprise
Coulda guessed what happened to us
But at the time, mesmerized by MiG-23s in the sky
Sonic boomin'
I'll never forget the rush of pride
Women ululatin', men drunk
Strong spirits, duelin' drums
The calloused thumbs of mbira players
The ride home at dusk
Faring students and strangers
Feelin' like we won
[Road blocks manned by mere boys
Wide smiles and long black guns

The album is cool.
Thankfully the songs where she's on her most pretentious BS are the songs I (musically) didn't FW

Thought silk kilt it too
Happened to hear the album right after it dropped on the way home from a party - its pretty close to flawless for me 
I'm starting to enjoy shorter albums when they're whittled down to all good songs -
Nothing felt superfluous, she had consistent thoughtful, introspective verses - good revolutionary fervor
Every feature added to the tracklist - billy woods was a stand out, as was Silkmoney - Common did his thing, and the notorious Jay Electronica verse that her new black and white fans were screaming about was just a stellar Jay Elec verse.
The funniest thing I've seen are casuals claiming he was anti-semitic on the song - when nothing about it was anti-semitic.
I'd give it a 9/10
