Bilal – Airtight’s Revenge (Review)

“Cake And Eat It Too”

“The Dollar” (Snippet)

“Move On” (Snippet)

Bilal presents Airtight’s Revenge, which can be described
in one word: relentless. Each song takes time to develop
and impress, then moves on to the next selection with
confident urgency. Religion, fatherhood, greed, and
the science of love are fair game as far as topics go,
set to a score informed by a vast scope of genres.
Simply put, the album is incredible. No cheap
gimmicks are exploited here, as this LP
challenges & rewards the listener.

“Airtight’s Revenge” is in stores now & at your favorite
online retailers, including iTunes and Amazon.
Visit here for a full stream of the album (for 1 week).

Bahwee Headnodders II | Download

“Chevalier”

“LastShins”

Producer Bahwee offers Headnodders II, a free
download which precedes the official release of his
upcoming FLAVORS EP. Bahwee describes this
beattape in the quote below. For updates and
more info, visit MyHollowDrum.com.

“The first and only beat tape I ever ‘released’ was back in 06 that I gave to my boy Jeff. I modestly scribbled 22 HEADNODDERS on it and remember dropping it off in his mailbox on my way to school. Years later, upstairs at lowend, I’m chillin and this old ass track of mine comes on out of nowhere. I was trippin like, “no, this can’t possibly be..” He told me later, “its from 22 Headnodders, foo.” and it all came back to me. Anyways, the name stuck and volume II is merely a collection of newer but oldd beats I did a while back. A lot of these I never got to finish when my pc died on me [R.I.P.], thus the fwee beattape. So twist something up and enjoy; straight out the dungeons of MHD, this is HEADNODDERS VOL. II; oh by the way, f*ck you jeff.” -bahwee
