July 11, 2014
Whats Real? Do you know? Whats Real? Let me show y’all.
– Talib Kweli
Kweli and Res do something hype and cool for the “Whats Real†cut off Kweli’s “Gravitas” album. Produced by Rich Kidd. Nice visual presentation. Pay attention, and you’ll catch a worthwhile cameo or two.

Idle Warship (Talib Kweli x Res) – “Beautifully Bad” (Video)
October 21, 2012
Ohhhh! Nice. Idle Warship is Talib Kweli and Res cliqued up to make a new entity… and some beautiful music, like “Beautifully Bad.” Nice visuals for the song, too (directed by Kweli and Bernard Gourley). “Beautifully Bad” is on the Idle Warship album “Habits of the Heart” – available now at iTunes. To get it, you can follow the link provided here.

R&B/Soul: Res – “On The Radio” (Donna Summer Cover)
September 4, 2012
Philly native Res has done plenty of great work that often gets overlooked by mainstream audiences. Her 2001 debut album “How I Do” STILL gets significant run from me in my itunes. In addition to serving as 1/2 of the group Idle Warship with Talib Kweli, the soul/funk/rock songstress appears to keep busy by dropping new material whenever the timing is right. With the recent passing of the legendary Donna Summer back in May of this year, I assume Res didn’t quite fall victim to the music industry tactic of artists releasing waves of hastily recorded tributes that far too often seem to be self serving to capitalize on a moment. This Danophonic produced house music remake of Donna Summer’s 1979 classic “On The Radio” sounds nothing like the original, but that’s also a part of charm of Res’s remake & what makes this remix of sorts sound so special. Res put her own creative spin on the classic & I’m positive Donna Summer would appreciate how it feels like Res took her time with it & genuinely executed the classic in her own creative flavor. This remix needs some love “On The Radio”…

Idle Warship (Talib Kweli x Res) – “Driving Me Insane” (Video)
April 26, 2012
“A collaboration between hip-hop luminary Talib Kweli and critically acclaimed Philly soul singer Res, Idle Warship is a genre-bending musical project born out of sheer experimentation and unbridled creative expression. ‘Habits of the Heart’ stormed the music scene last year, receiving glowing praise from the likes of People Magazine, RollingStone.com, NylonMag.com, Filter, Bust, MTV Hive, YRB and Vibe.com. The group also drew attention for their unconventional idea to be the first to premiere their full album on Spotify U.S. three whole weeks ahead of release date. The album offers a thrilling hybrid of influences including soul, hip-hop, rock, alternative and electronic, and features guest spots from Jean Grae, Jay Knocka, Chester French, Michelle Williams & John Forte.” – Idle Warship Team

The Res Documentary (Trailer)
March 31, 2012
Spotted this trailer for the upcoming documentary on the feminine 1/2 of the group Idle Warship with Talib Kweli over at OKP. Res’s solo album “How I Do“ still gets many spins from me on a personal level in the itunes, but what I’m surprised to see there was already a documentary being made with her as the focal point. Filmmaker Steve Zegans has been following Res (of Idle Warship fame and, well, Res fame) since the fall of 2010 as the rarely-idle musical road warrior “recorded new music, toured the country and hustled to get her music and name back out there.†The result is a documentary film on the struggles of an independent artist balancing business with creativity and the ups and downs of life and fate. And now we have the trailer for the doc, getting our first glimpse into Res’ daily grind, including performance footage and extensive interview with Talib Kweli. Watch above and we’ll keep you updated as more info about the film and its release comes our way.

October 19, 2011
Talib Kweli, Res, & Graph Nobel make up the group Idle Warship & this is the first official single release from their debut album ‘Habits Of The Heart’ that officially drops on November 1st. I could have sworn I read somewhere that Toronto singer Graph Nobel was no longer in the group, but I maybe mistaken or things could have changed since then. Either way I’m diggin’ this joint right here. Check out the album artwork under the hood….

New Music: Res – ‘Say You Will’ Remix feat. Ab-Liva & Talib Kweli
February 2, 2011
This is a nice cover of Kanye’s ‘Say You Will’ from his 808’s & Heartbreaks album. Although I didn’t enjoy 808s & Heartbreaks, Say You Will was my favorite track from the album. With this Res cover I would have liked to hear it without any emcees on it, but it still works.
