It’s been, like, 14 months since K.I.’s last project, the Red Pill mixtape. But on April 15, he’ll be releasing Freedom Fighters, a 14-track all original project with production by future super producer, Justin Ambush.
FF features the cover of “If I Ain’t Got You” by Alicia Keys, “Knockin” and more. And guess what–it’s FREE!
I think the future of the artist / fan relationship may lie in the app. With the explosion of the “smartphone” as well as the tablet, I could just imagine the replacement to the physical cd cover and lyrics sheet we used to covet becoming the personal app. Complete with store, discography, lyrics, video etc. Even next generation video game consoles would be compatible. Maybe this is me thinking ideal because that kind of access oozes of potential monetization. Oh well, back to earth, scarce gigs, and free music. Gotta love it!
This is a throwback. Check out my first video for the song “Sometimes” off The Calm Before the Storm. ’09 seems so long ago..
Directors: Antar Hanif and Kayona Ebony Brown

Khalil Ismail’s Video EPK from khalilismail on Vimeo.
Contrary to popular belief, hip-hop takes an absurd amount of skill to execute properly. What’s more, conscious hip-hop takes a certain penchant for intelligent word-smithery. Khalil has a penchant for all of the above. He effortlessly flows in and out of messages, usually over very classically soulful beats. Khalil obviously has things to say, and every song pierces further than skin. Raised in Baltimore, Khalil hopes to say more than rap about how it is on the “mean street”, and tries to inspire whenever he can. Check this guy out and be amazed.
