DUB KWELI

Unknown January 26, 2012 , , , , ,

This is an amazing mix I came across some time back. It mixes Talib Kweli lyrics with Dub reggae. It sounds clean like a studio album and came in 2010. Produced by Max Tannone, who also made a few other great mix/mashups, most notably one with Mos Def and more Dub reggae (my favorite, which I'll post too) .

Listen!

Talib Kweli @HMV Forum, London

Unknown January 25, 2012 , , ,

Talib Kweli has been a king of New York hip-hop who has an expansive international audience for over fifteen years. Kweli’s work with Mos Def on 'Black Star' (1998) still stands as one of hip-hop’s premiere expressions of truth. On 'Train of Thought',Kweli teamed up with Hi-Tek to form Reflection Eternal, a virtuoso hip-hop duo that continues to wow audiences and critics alike. In 2007, Kweli and DJ/Producer/MC Madlib gave their fans 'Liberation' - originally released free on the internet - an album that was filled with their joint love of the music they make and the respect their fans give them.
