Tunde Adebimpe - Thee Black Boltz... (IEX)

For the last 24 years, Tunde Adebimpe has largely been known as the co-founder, co-vocalist and principal songwriter for TV On The Radio. The mostly-black art-rock band triumphed through two decades of volatile cultural change to become one of the most beloved, enduring and influential groups from New York City's early-2000s rock scene. Though Tunde's poetic songwriting and towering vocals are central to TV On The Radio, the band will always be a collaboration between a group of musicians.Tunde's personal story exists on a parallel path, as a sort of creative polymath. He is a musician but also an illustrator and painter. And now he is also a solo artist, with his first-ever solo album, Thee Black Boltz.
