Bilal
My description of Bilal is
artistic and sensual. Bilal is always getting compared to D'Angelo.
To me Bilal’s vocals and skill level far surpasses D'Angelo. In the
late 1990s and early 2000s I was introduced to Bilal. He was in the
neo soul and alternative hip hop group Soulquarians. The members
consist of some awesome talent, Talib Kweli, Common (kneeling), Mos
Def, James Poyser, Erykah Badu, Questlove, D'Angelo, Q-Tip, Bilal and
the late great J Dilla. Wow! This was an amazing group of talented
musicians. When Bilal came out with his debut album “1st Born
Second” in 2001 I think it was the right thing for his music
career. I loved the songs “Soul Sista”, “Fast Lane”,
"Sometimes", “Love It” and “Love Poem. The song “Soul
Sista” was on the movie soundtrack “Love And Basketball”. This
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania born talent has been doing his thing since
the late 1990s. Bilal is still going strong. He has a new album that
was leaked on YouTube it is called” Love for Sale”. I think this
album is amazing my favorite songs off this album are “Hollywood”,
“All For Love”, “Lord don't let it”, “Get Out of My Hair”,
“You're All I Need (Feels Like Heaven)” and “White Turns To
Gray”. Bilal is an underrated artist with talent that needs to be
played more. You can listen to new and unexposed artists like Bilal
on Streetwise Radio. You can all so listen to Streetwise Radio on
Pandora, Athena365, MyGen365, Live365 and iTunes.
