Second Best Idea
Bilal Noor
Jazz-schooled, sample-literate, and the reason several FMKR records have chords that move.
Bilal Noor came to the label as a session player and stayed as an artist. He studied jazz piano, works comfortably inside hip-hop production, and has the useful habit of playing the second-best idea because it leaves more room for everyone else.
His own records are instrumental, built from live trio takes that he then edits with a producer's ruthlessness.
He is the most-credited musician in the FMKR catalogue.
