By now its no secret Grammy nominated recording artist Bilal (nee Bilal Sayeed Oliver) is back with Airtight’s Revenge. The album—his first in nine years—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. Bilal co-produced the album with Steve McKie, who has worked with Jill Scott, Estelle and Vivian Green. 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.
