It has been 10 long years since we heard from the left coast legendary duo known as blackalicious but on September 18 they are dropping Imani Vol 1. They dropped the track entitled “on fire tonight” some months back and there is also a track called “blacka” on soundcloud. After listening to these two jawns it appears they have not missed a step in the creative process since their last album the craft. IF you are in for some thoughtful/fun tongue twisting lyrics peep Blackalicious and catch them on tour if you can….ENJOY! Track listing and tour dates after the drop
