3030269, Bilal's Love for Sale

Hi. This is my first post here. I'm a Wikipedian, editing there under the name isento. I was doing research for my article on Bilal's unreleased but widely bootlegged second album, Love for Sale, and came across an old post about it on this forum.

The album was special to me, finding the leak while I was in high school and recovering from surgeries for a health issue. For better or for worse, it helped shape the lovesick romantic in me. Under the quarantine last year, I came across the album again in my music library and committed myself to giving its story some justice in the form of a Wikipedia article.

Since the Bilal album leaked at some unspecified date in early 2006 (likely around February), this would make it a 15th anniversary of sorts. So I am just posting this to renew some awareness of a musical work that meant something to me and possibly a lot of other people out there.

One of the links at the bottom of the Wikipedia article is a YouTube user's playlist of the album's songs in the order of the original leak. I hope you all enjoy, and stay safe ✌️
