Ever since emerging as a member of Black Star in the late 90's, Talib Kweli is one of the few artists making commercially viable music that matters. The Brooklyn rapper's hard-hitting music has been able to educate and entertain simultaneously and on 29 March 2012, the Brooklyn born MC will be bringing his socially conscious rhymes to the Club of the Rockhal.
Kweli's work with Mos Def on the famed album, "Black Star" still stands as one of hip-hop's premier collaborations and was instantly hailed by critics upon its release. Regarded as a virtuoso performer that continues to wow audiences and critics alike, Kweli has performed all over the world, offering fans his unique rhyming style. Famous for his collaborations with artists as diverse as Kanye West, Justin Timberlake, Mary J. Blige, Norah Jones and many more, Kweli has had a career filled with success and innovation. So it is no wonder that at the peak of their fame, both Jay-Z and 50 Cent named Talib Kweli as one of their favourite rappers.
Recently, Kweli released his fourth album, "Gutter Rainbows", that takes a trip back to childhood while marking the newest stage in his long and dynamic career. This newest release proves that Kweli is a complete and formidable musician as it presents the depth and breadth of his experience and ability.
As a boy growing up in Brooklyn, Kweli saw gutters that ran with dirt, oil and water, revealing a shimmering rainbow to his child's eyes. Drawing its title from this memory, this album puts at the raw center what his music has been doing for years: finding and preserving the beautiful in the hideous; the rainbows in the gutter. Without being tied to any particular label's conception, Kweli is free to build his most personal album yet. Kweli's true solo career has only just begun.
On stage, the icon of the New York underground hip-hop scene is a rigorous performer that is sure to amaze his fans at the Rockhal on 29 March 2012.
