Dan DeLuca's picks: Jamaaladeen Tacuma, Walter Mosley, and Bilal

Jamaaladeen Tacuma, Sunday at World Cafe Live. The jazz and funk bassist extraordinaire, once a member of Ornette Coleman's Prime Time, has played with everyone from the Roots to Carlos Santana. Opening for Saxofour, Sunday at World Cafe Live.

F---ed Up. Highly ambitious Toronto punk-plus band, whose name cannot be spelled out in this newspaper, is touring as a nine-piece unit behind "Year of the Hare," the 21-minute-long latest single in the band's zodiac series. With Doomsquad, Sunday at International House.

Walter Mosley and Mat Johnson. Easy Rawlins creator Mosley makes a tour stop in support of his new book, Sometimes I Wonder About You, featuring New York gumshoe Leonid McGill. And Philadelphia-raised novelist Mat Johnson comes home to read from Loving Day, his satire about racial politics set in Germantown. Monday at the Free Library.

Bilal. Philly soul man Bilal Oliver wields a supple falsetto and a genre-blending sensibility well matched with analog production mastermind Adrian Younge, who helmed his new album, In Another Life, which comes out Tuesday, the same night Bilal plays the World Cafe.

"Get Money," Ghostface Killah & Adrian Younge (featuring Vince Staples). Speaking of Younge, he's soon back with Twelve Reasons to Die II, his latest over-the-top hip-hop opera collaboration with Wu Tang Clan rapper Ghostface Killah. On this grabby track from the project, due out July 10, the duo are joined by rising rapper Vince Staples, who's on this year's hip-hop-heavy Made in America lineup.
