Our take
Shunned by the music industry after her transition, Grammy-nominated record producer D. Smith brings a dynamic sense of rhythm to her format-defying debut. A raw and honest look at the lives of Black trans sex workers in New York and Georgia, Kokomo City breaks social stigmas with a vivacious style.
