Talib Kweli Says Black Star Reunion LP Will Happen Next Year

Pizzo — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 22:39:50 +0000

Here’s the part where I ask the inevitable “Black Star update” question.

Me and Mos are focused on independence and quality of sound. We’re really into a Madlib/Dilla thing right now. Anything you hear from us is probably going to be that type of sound. And it’s about independence, so we are trying to find out the right mediums to get the songs out. When you heard “Fix Up” on Colbert, it wasn’t even mixed; it was something we recorded a week before. Now we’re at the mixing stage of the song and we are going to put that out ourselves. We have a bunch of songs recorded. We are just trying to figure out the best way to release them, whether it’s going to be one by one, EP or album. Right now, the plan is to release “Fix Up” and then Yaasin is working on a Yaasin Bey Presents project and then we’ll see how it goes.

When do you hope to release it?

[Pause, then slowly] I am working to put out a Black Star project for people to buy sometime next year.

Kweli also refers to Hermain Cain as “the Bizarro Obama” in this interview. Read more here.

We’ll break our radio tags rule for this one. J. Rocc debuted a new Mos Def and Talib Kweli track last night, produced by Madlib, on BBC’s Radio One.
