premiere: a tribe called quest’s ali shaheed muhammad & adrian younge issue anti-police brutality call to action with new track

Behold the latest collaborations between A Tribe Called Quest’s Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Adrian Younge since their 2013 album ‘Souls of Mischief’. A cut from their forthcoming ‘The Midnight Hour’ project, “Black Beacon” is a splendidly theatrical track lush with vintage soul vibes that blossom into a kaleidoscope of jazz and hip-hop that is simply engrossing. Bright horns seamlessly interweave throughout the magnificent soundscape, harkening back to the music of the 1970s, a turbulent time for black history, just like now. And it’s freakin’ dope.

“’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”, the artists told AFROPUNK.
