New Bilal Album is Almost Done!

To start the day off we've got some good news from our friends over at Plug Research. Bilal will be releasing his new album via PR in early 2010. His first official LP since his critically acclaimed 01 album, 1st Born Second. The new album will be entirely produced by Bilal, with the exception of some production by Shafiq (Sa-Ra) and Nottz, which means you can expect more collabos like this one. Bilal had this to say of the announcement:  "I'm just excited to put out a new record without having to conform to major label standards… before there was always this pressure of, 'What's going to be the first single — what are people going to get?' I never really saw making music like that." Word is that 9 of the 12 songs are completed already. Find out more over at Billboard.

    too bad it won’t come out next year or anytime in the near future, I’m not believing anything about a release date until its actually in stores….

    Alongside Flying Lotus & Shafiq Husayn, Bilal is in good hands! Plug research is definitely one of the label of year.
    I hope Robert Glapser and Chris Daddy Dave will be on LP…

    Our thesis is perfect and we thank you a lot for your smashing stuff just about this good topic. Hence, after it students really get know just about dissertation and order essay.

    If settle to accomplish the essays to buy, you would have to know that this takes huge efforts! Different men spoil their term paper, just because they don’t have writing skillfulness! It’s tragical, but the do my paper service can support such people any time.

    Houses and cars are quite expensive and not everyone is able to buy it. However, home loans are invented to support different people in such cases.
