Listen to Kano and Rustie’s Bombastic “Hail”

Posted on:

Bilal & Adrian Younge recently took the trip cross-pond to perform at Gilles Peterson‘s Worldwide Awards in London and while they were in the vicinity, made sure to hit Peterson’s Brownswood Studio for a session in what has to be one of the illest basements that ever was.
