附Blood Orange新专辑《Freetown Sound》发行时的一篇，最后说到Dev Hynes提到的一段关于P.M. Dawn的节选：

“Hynes aims to transcend and not just escape the otherness that's the unchosen birthright of his people, and does so by embracing it. Like the late Prince Be of P.M. Dawn — the '90s hip-hop duo whose kaleidoscopic art-pop was in some corners considered too soft, ruminative and far-ranging but paved the way for Drake and Kanye West— Hynes presents an alternative yet more authentic self. He builds this realness on a dialect of ideas, sounds, styles and identifications to reconcile beyond skin, beyond superficial conflicts or binary notions of identity. He's making music to unblock the most formidable obstacle implicit in his shadow role of the quintessential alien; how he thinks about himself: He's not letting white straight male America define him or his art. Instead, he offers another way of being black, of being masculine, of being queer and, above all, being human; one this entire country must heed if it's to survive and relinquish its own brutality. He offers his own truth.
