Talib Kweli Teases New ‘Black Star’ Album

by Quenton Harris

It’s been almost 24 years since legendary hip-hop duo Black Star released their first and only project, and outside of a single back in 2011, the group seems to have fallen off the map until recently.

A follow-up has been teased several times over the last couple years, but the latest update might finally lead to some fruition.

​One half of the rap duo ‘Talib Kweli’ updated fans via Instagram, stating “The new Black Star album was recorded in hotel rooms and dressing rooms across the globe, I love how my brother Yasiin Bey pushes me musically.”

​Odds are the duo have put their solo careers to the side for a second in order to ensure this new project is the best they can possibly make it. 

Could this be what the music industry needs right now? In a climate that almost praises a lack of substance in its radio hits? Or will this dramatic shift in demand prove Black Star to be obsolete in today’s time?
