Feel Good Fridays: Talib Kweli

Kweli is one of those cats that I've been listening to for almost two decades now. Dig this cut, "Rare Portraits", as he takes you back through those years, reflecting on what he's seen. Gorgeous.

Feel Good Fridays: Guru

Three years ago today we lost one of the best emcees to ever do it - Gangstarr's Guru. Marco Polo teamed up with Talib Kweli and DJ Premier to pay tribute. Dig.

 

Throwback Thursdays: Black Star

This joint is more mid-school than old-school. Can't believe it's 14 years old tho. Still gets me amped. Dig.

Feel Good Fridays: Talib Kweli

I'm back!  Surgery was successful - I'm recovering nicely.  It's Friday!  I'm taking my son to meet Talib Kweli tonight.  He'll being doing a meet-and-greet at Exile On Main Street at 6pm.  Don't sleep.
