So you guys got pretty excited about Black Star's Fix Upsingle earlier today huh? Well the legendary duo of Talib Kweli & Yasiin Bey (formerly know as Mos Def) drop another new joint produced by Oh No, You Already Knew, off their upcoming Aretha Franklin tribute mixtape! No word on when the mixtape will be available but until then lets just enjoy this free download. #BlackStarFriday
We heard the track live on Colbert in October but as a Black Star Friday treat, Talib Kweli and Yasiin Bey (formerly known as Mos Def) drop the CDQ for their new Madlib produced single, Fix Up. Grab it on iTunes now! Black Star reunion album coming in 2012!
Socially conscience rapper, Talib Kweli, made a recent appearance at the Occupy Wall Street protests and performed a verse from his appropriately lyricize'd track Distractions as well as Thieves In The Nightupon request. He also had some inspirational words in support of the crowd. Check it below.
Last night on The Colbert Report Talib Kweli and Yassiin Bey (formerly known as Mos Def) premiered and performed Black Star's newest Madlib produced single, Fix Upwith J. Rocc of the world famous Beat Junkies. Talib and Yassiin go back and forth on Madlib's trademark, sample heavy beat as one of the best duos to ever do it. Hopefully this means there is a new collaborative album in the works! Buy: Black Star - Fix Up (Prod. Madlib)
It's become increasingly clear that if you wanna keep a track on lockdown...don't give it to J.Rocc. The Beat Junkies DJ dropped this Untitled snippet produced by Madlib on BBC 1 Radio the other night which has had the internet buzzin' for a possible 2nd album? Hopefully this will be the comeback of one hip-hops greatest duos that we have all been waiting for.
