So not to gripe about it or anything, but we were trying hard to get Blackalicious onto our SXSW showcase this year at one point. We might have had a shot too, until word came down that they were deciding to skip Austin to finish… Wait for it… A new album. It was the easiest rejection to take. We’ve been sitting on that exciting news until today, and not only can we finally tell you that the new Blackalicious album Imani, Vol. 1 is dropping August 14th, but we’ve got a new song, On Fire Tonight, via RollingStone. The feature-heavy tracklisting for Imani (swahili for “faith”) is as follows:
1. Faith (w/ Amde of The Watts Prophets)
2. Blacka
3. Ashes To Ashes
4. On Fire Tonight (w/ Myron of Myron & E)
5. Escape
6. The Sun (w/ Imani Coppola)
7. That Night (w/ Vursatyl and Jumbo of The LifeSavas)
