“Bilal is hands down one of the greatest specimens of voice in post-modern Hip-Hop culture.” ?uestlove
“He sounded tremendous, his voice leaving genre in the dust…” New York Times Review
On July 23rd Bilal joined the Miguel Atwood Ferguson Ensemble for a free show in Los Angeles. The night was noted for bringing together a diverse group of musicians to blend with the classical in Flying Lotus, Aloe Bacc, Chris “Daddy” Dave, and Stephen “Thundercat” Bruner. Hip-Hop fans got their first exposure to Miguel Atwood Ferguson within the last year courtesy of his work with J Dilla’s mom for the “Suite to Ma Dukes” project.
Below is their now-download available rendition of Donny Hathaway’s “Someday We Will All Be Free.” Bilal’s new album Airtight’s Revenge will be released on September 14th. Be on the lookout for my exclusive interview with him tommorrow here at Beats, Boxing and Mayhem.
