Grammy-nominated musical artist Bilal returns with his third studio album, ‘Airtight’s Revenge’, a provocative genre-bending
album that dissects love, politics and relationships, demonstrating the Philly-bred singer’s growth as an artist in a mix of jazz, hip-hop, soul, blues, and free experimental music. Steve McKie (Jill Scott, Estelle, Kindred, Vivian Green) co-produced the album with Bilal, which also features production by Nottz (Kanye West, Snoop Dogg, Drake), 88 Keys (Mos Def, Macy Gray, Musiq Soulchild), Shafiq Husayn of Sa-Ra, and Tone Whitefield. A classically trained vocal veteran, Bilal released his debut album ‘1st Born Second’ in 2001, which boasted the popular single ‘Soul Sista’ and sold over 320K units. The follow- up, ‘Love For Sale’ (2006), was shelved but leaked entirely online and was well received by fans and critics, since becoming an underground classic. In the following years, Bilal has collaborated and performed with some of the industry’s most prominent artists, including Beyonce, Common, Jay-Z, Erykah Badu, Musiq Soulchild, J-Dilla, Guru, The Clipse, The Game, Scarface, Jadakiss, Reflection Eternal, Jill Scott, Mos Def, Lil Wayne and The Roots among many others.
