The Return of BLACK STAR

Hell yes, Talib Kweli and Mos Def brings it back to basics with this Madlib produced heatrock called "Fix Up". A snippet of the track was premiered several months ago via Soundcloud but the dynamic duo gave the first full performance of it on yesterdays The Colbert Report.

It's great to hear that the chemistry is still there and if you ask me, these two have both had incredible solo runs since their classic '98 Rawkus LP. To say the least, it will be interesting to see how their second full-length will differ in style and sound considering the gap of almost 15 years between recordings. Oh and for the record, Mos goes by Yasiin Bey from now on.
