Album Review

Talib Kweli – Eardrum

• 9th Oct 2007

“The year is 1975, Brooklyn, New York City, a child destined for greatness is born.”

Talib Kweli, hailed by the greatest as the greatest; according to Jay-Z there is no better lyricist in the game. This new record ‘Eardrum’ will have you rewinding the tracks before you get to the end.

Hard hitting the sublime strings, beats and above all the twisting vocabulary of Kweli will doubtless leave you reeling at the talent that comes through the speakers. Featuring Kanye, Norah Jones, Will.I.Am and Justin Timberlake. With tracks produced by Hi Tek, Just Blaze, Madlib and Pete Rock this is Class A, top grade hip hop from the true student of rap.

“Hip Hop’s not dead it was on vacation, we back, we bask in the confrontation.” 19 tracks of modern rap with a lions prowess, Talib Kweli is the pride of the concrete jungle.
