I wanna know if Bilal is still getting jerked by his label... quite some time ago, Jaydee played us like 4 tracks he did for him and shit was bangin! He said he was getting the same treatment Esvee was, anyone know the deal? Isnt he like 18 or something? His vocals are incredible and if any of the tracks Jay did for him see the light of day, we may have another one on or hands. One song in particular was ridiculous, Jaydee said they recorded it in his crib and kid was drunk as hell and did his vocals in one take! He sounds similar to this kid from the D, Dwele. He's on some shit! Playing instruments, producing, whatever, this kid's got it! If anyone from 313 caught his little tape, they know the deal...he's about to blow!
At the Hit Factory in New York couple of months ago. He's still working on his stuff.

It's Bilal. If you don't live in the NYC or Philly areas you haven't had the chance to see his brother do his thing. I have no idea if he's signed or when he has something coming out, but he's down with the whole Common, Roots clique. First time I saw him was this past summer when he got up on stage with Common ay his show at Wetlands.<P>“What are the rewards of those who tend to their God-given talents as they would have the creator tend to their spirits and daily lives?

29. "6th Sense Recording" In response to Reply # 10
You should check napster.com, it's kinda slow but you can find mad MP3's by Common,Roots, & many other artists. It all depends on what time you log onto their server. (I found this hot Roots remix of "Reminding me of Self") Check it out!
Ya'll talking about him but I have no idea who he is. (I thought he was the producer Bilal Bashir)<P>He seems to on the level and since he's down with the "Neo-Native Tongue" crew he shoul be dope. Can ya'll give me some info on him or a site where I can sample this guy for myself?<P>Thanks!<P>
...a young artist from Philly who is about to come out with his own album, he's the freshest soul artist since D'Angelo and is really going to shock the world.<P>Dot Com

Anybody remember that group called The Boys or something? The ones that sung "Dial My Heart." Wasn't one of their names Bilal? That's not the same cat, is it? Don't laugh at me, either *snicker*.
