Bilal Returns With New Album

Grammy nominated recording artist Bilal (nee Bilal Sayeed Oliver) is back with his first album release since 2001’s First Born Second. The new effort entitled, Airtight’s Revenge is said to be a provocative genre-bending album that dissects love, politics and relationships. “It’s a mix of jazz, hip-hop, soul, blues, and experimental free music,” says the Philadelphia bred-singer. The album also features production by Nottz, 88 Keys, Shafiq Husayn of Sa-Ra and Tone Whitefield. A true artist’s artist, the singer has captivated the ears of Erykah Badu, The Roots’ QuestLove, Q-Tip and Janelle Monae.

Airtight’s Revenge available September 14
