Jeru The Damaja Presents: Do The Right Thing w/ Talib Kweli

The Brooklyn-based MC, Talib Kweli, earned his stripes as one of the most lyrically-gifted, socially aware and politically insightful rappers to emerge in the last 25 years. ‘No Fear Of Time’, Black Star’s highly anticipated second was released in 2022 and the second instalment of ‘Liberation (2)’ with Madlib was released last year.

“I’m a touring artist. I’m an artist that’s internationally known. I’m not just a local artist at this point in my career. I’m cognizant of the fact that what I do is beyond where it started. I’m trying to reach the apex of where I am now, but without turning my back on or dismissing what I’ve done before.”

After more than 25 years of releasing mesmerizing music, Talib Kweli stands as one of the world’s most talented and most accomplished Hip Hop artists. Whether working with Yasiin Bey (Mos Def) as one-half of Black Star, partnering with producer Hi-Tek for Reflection Eternal, releasing landmark solo material or collaborating with Kanye West, Pharrell Williams, Just Blaze, J Dilla, or Madlib, Kweli commands attention by delivering top-tier lyricism, crafting captivating stories and showing the ability to rhyme over virtually any type of instrumental.
