Bilal dropped this video for Robots yesterday to coincide with Election day. However, due to some technical difficulties, we weren’t able to post it. Luckily, the message endures and this politically charged atmosphere will continue, so all is not lost.

The single is off his latest album, Airtight’s Revenge [Explicit]. Be sure to check out his cover of Donny Hathaway’s “Someday We’ll All Be Free” after the jump too.

With the much anticipated return of Bilal right around the corner, our fellow music lovers and supporters Quality Time Online, have dropped a great EP in his honor. Enjoy and let us know what you think!

‘A Tribute To Bilal’
Quality Time Online would like to put the spotlight on the soul artist, Bilal, by offering a compilation of his work – just prior to his latest album release. This free downloadable compilation consists of the new single release “Free” and a few live-recordings and remixes.

‘Airtight’s Revenge’
A small 10 years after his debut ‘First Born Second’ (and 4 years after the shelved ‘Love for Sale’), soul sensation Bilal drops his new album. A provocative genre-bending album that dissects love, politics and relationships, ‘Airtight’s Revenge’ demonstrates the Philly-bred singer’s growth as an artist. “It’s a mix of jazz, hip-hop, soul, blues, and experimental free music,” says Bilal. ‘Airtight’s Revenge’ will be in stores on September, 14th.

Tracklist:
01. Free (1st single of ‘Airtight’s Revenge)
02. Levels (Live @ CMJ, NY)
03. Cheeba ft. Shafiq Husayn (Remix)
04. Lord Don’t Let it (of ‘Love For Sale’)
05. All For Love (of ‘Love For Sale’)
06. Soul Sista (Madlib Remix)
07. Outro by Bilal
