d to me is a mixture of al green and prince, which is tight! but bilal is on some gospel-funk riffs with that voice. the first time i heard it i was like, if anybody would get a singer like that to spit on their track, it would common-hiphop from the soul, cause of course he got chantay savage to sing on his other cd, and she is anointed on the vocals. and "this time", her latest cd, love it!
