Imani Vol. 1 is the fourth and final studio album by American hip hop duo Blackalicious. It was released on September 18, 2015, after a decade-long hiatus since their previous album, The Craft.[1][2][3][4] The title of the album means "faith" in Swahili, and it is the first part of what was a planned trilogy of albums before Timothy Parker died of kidney failure in 2021.[5] Work began on the album in 2012,[6] with the making of the album being crowdfunded via the website Pledgemusic.[7]
