Two of hip-hop's most skilled composers, Ali Shaheed Muhammad of A Tribe Called Quest and Adrian Younge, partner up as The Midnight Hour. Their newly-released self-titled debut is a favorite across our airwaves. Their recent visit to the KCRW studios was outstanding, and so we're excited to share "Black Beacon," as performed live on MBE.
