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

Talib Kweli – “Distractions”
December 15, 2011
New banger from Talib Kweli that most people who’ve been following the Occupy Wall Street protests noticed it’s the same verses he spit at the rally in New York City. The song will appear on Talib Kweli’s upcoming album Prisoner Of Conscious due sometime in 2012. Supposedly the video is already in the works for this joint. Until the album drops Talib wants the fans to stay focused on what’s poppin’ in the lyrics of this song to better avoid all the other ‘Distractions’….
Black Star – “You Already Knew” (Prod. By Ohno)
November 25, 2011
Mos Def Yasiin Bey & Talib Kweli hit us with a double dose of “Black Star Power” on this Black Friday. This joint right here produced by Madlib’s little brother OhNo is not going to be on their next album, but will be on a tribute mixtape to Aretha Franklin. Of course we can assume the project will contain a gang of Detroit City Diva’s music that’s been sampled. If this is jawn right here is of any indication then we already know the complete tribute mixtape is gonna be fiyah! But ‘You Already Knew’…..

Mos Def Demands BET Awards Show Tribute For Troy Davis (Video)
September 29, 2011
Mos Def & Talib Kweli were scheduled to perform here in Atlanta last Thursday night, but the show was cancelled following the recent execution of Troy Davis by the state of Georgia. As Black Star, Mos & Kweli opted to cancel their show in protest. I’m not mad & I applaud them for doing so. Troy Davis will officially be buried this Saturday & almost simultaneously the 2011 BET Hip Hop Awards will be taking place in Atlanta. While at their Miami show Mos Def took the opportunity to send a message to the powers at BET to make sure they dedicated a segment to a man who was executed with no evidence of guilt. Should be interesting to see how many other artists will speak out if given the platform.
