The Cycle is the fifth album by Mourning [A] BLKstar. It's the Cleveland-based collective's masterwork -- a double LP spanning 20 songs and three singers, touching on neo-soul, hip-hop, and the cosmic expanse in between/beyond. It is a humble addition to the long legacy of James Baldwin's adage of the artist as witness. It is their song cycle, written in a time that just may need a song or two in support of and in love and power to the living.
