Let me tell yall something, performing this verse was one of the most difficult things I ever done! I practiced until the last second because I had to get it right for Queen @chakakhan And a special salute to the great @mellemelglover for being the originator. 📷 @drevinciwrks

That whole thing about judging, a book and a cover applies here. Let’s believe in the good of all humanity.

This clip says it all. I love Hip Hop and Hip Hop loves me back. This is the only thing I ever wanted! I wanted Hip Hop to accept me and include me. The way @willsmith invited me to jump in this picture may seem like a small thing but it’s not! I’m in the presence of greatness. Well done @recordingacademy !!!
Last night I was really happy and grateful to have been honored with the Newcomer Award at Black Theatre United’s (BTU) @blacktheatreunited Honoree Gala.
Receiving this award is a great privilege to me as, from a young age, I have always aspired to do theatre. This year those dreams came true when I was given the opportunity to star alongside Stephen McKinley Henderson @stephenmckinleyhenderson in ‘Between Riverside and Crazy’ on Broadway.
Being honored alongside amazing individuals such as Samuel L Jackson @samuelljackson and LaTanya Richardson Jackson @ltjackson_ , Kandi Buruss @kandi , Dr Indira Etwaroo @indiraetwaroo and Dr N Anthony and Robyn Coles is so inspiring and it is a huge privilege to be witness to all the creativity and love that all the honorees and everyone at BTU inspires.
Seeing the ways that
BTU is opening doors for young aspiring black actors and creators in theatre is amazing and I’m looking forward to seeing what more I can do to bring more black and brown people to the theatre in the future.
Thank you BTU for opening those doors, we honour you!

Glasshaus Presents: Bilal feat. Questlove, Common, Robert Glasper and Burniss Travis
(Gallery 1 of 2)
Grammy Award winning artist Bilal wore the many characters of his multi-dimensional music in a mid-career retrospective that transfixed the intimate audience at Glasshaus. His uncanny vocal range carved from falsetto to growl and everything in between, while Glasper and Travis extended arrangements, Common freestyled, and musical director Questlove held court with the backstory of “Sometimes”, which read like an impromptu Questlove Supreme.
This rare and historic reunion of collaborators performed songs from Bilal’s “1st Born Second”, “Love For Sale” and “Airtight’s Revenge”, alongside the debut of his incredible “Humility” — and even “Funky For You” from Common’s “Like Water For Chocolate”. 25+ years of friendship was obvious as much in their laughter between songs as it was within their unspoken musical chemistry.
Stay tuned for news of our live album and concert film due spring 2024 via @glasshaus

I’m trying to keep it cool but being on stage with @chakakhan is more than a dream come true! Honoring her tomorrow at the @rockhall celebration is an honor. But after rehearsal, I stopped by their incredible gifting suite! Thank you for everything!
In the presence of Hip Hop Royalty. GOD is Great.
Congrats to my brother @blackthought and one of the best MC’s ever on his new book!
