Tonight, Talib Kweli and Mos Def are performing Astronomy (as well as a brand new Black Star song called Fix Up) on The Colbert Report. Before that though, Kweli took over Colbert’s chair to give a brief PSA about the upcoming Duck Down vs Blacksmith showcase at this year’s CMJ Festival on October 22nd. Performances by the likes of Talib, Pharoahe Monch, Jean Grae, Buckshot, Smif-N-Wessun, Kidz In The Hall, Promise, Statik Selektah and more. Click here for tickets.
Idle Warship, the collaboration between Talib Kweli, Res and Graph Nobel will finally drop their debut long-player, Habits Of The Heart, on October 24th. You can hit the jump for the tracklist.
Mos (and his trademark red microphone) and Talib (and his trademark head adornment) returned to San Bernadino this weekend, and Miss Dimplez was on hand to catch it.
I better not have to add (Talib Kweli x Mos Def) to the title above. If you didn’t know that bit of information, please close your laptop lid and chuck that shit out the nearest window. You are banned from the internet. Anyways.. Mos threw this up on his Facebook with little to no information. For now, all we can say is that it’s a snippet of something great.
Of course this is all in jest, but it’s kind of dope to see the comedian alongside Hi-Tek, Talib Kweli and more at Tek’s Teklab Studios fooling around on the MPC. Let me find out someone swacks this beat and decides to rap over it, though… Props to the homie Spintelect.
