Talib Kweli ft Mos Def

Brooklyn native Talib Kweli helped set a new benchmark for conscious rap through his collaborations with DJ Hi-Tek (the Reflection Eternal project) and Mos Def (as the stellar Black Star), but makes a welcome - and quite rare - solo showing here, performing from his latest album, 'Gutter Rainbows', which features his familiar free-flowing rhymes and symphonic samples. It's engagingly familiar, rather than ground-breaking stuff.
