Now longtime collaborators Ali Shaheed Muhammad (A Tribe Called Quest) and Adrian Younge have finally announced their new album The Midnight Hour, which will be released June 8, 2018 (Linear Labs). The two artists originally began working together in 2013 on the Souls of Mischief release, There Is Only Now and as everyone now knows, last year’s score work for Marvel’s Luke Cage.
After announcing their album and sharing lead track and first single “Questions” featuring CeeLo Green just one week ago, the duo return to share their latest single, a 4-minute orchestral jazz suite called “Black Beacon.” According to Ali & Adrian, “‘Black Beacon,’ is a call to action for our brothers and sisters to unite against police brutality, inequality, and social injustice. Like our jazz forefathers of the civil rights movement, we’re using our horns for unity.”
