Talib Kweli
The Dome, NW5 1HL , [Venue Details]Brooklyn's Talib Kweli is revered for his insightful, intelligent lyrics and advanced technical skills on the mic.
The earnest MC became one of the most critically successful rappers of his time, which dawned in the late '90s when he formed Reflection Eternal with DJ Hi-Tek and rapped alongside Mos Def as part of the group Black Star.
Their widely acclaimed 1998 album debut, Black Star, helped make Rawkus Records one of the premier underground rap outposts of the late '90s. Reflection Eternal's debut full-length, 2000's Train of Thought, preceded a prolific solo career, which included the gold-certified Quality (2002) and Eardrum (2007), which hit number two on the Billboard 200. Kweli released several albums and mixtapes through his company Blacksmith Music, then formed the independent Javotti Media in the early 2010s, releasing lower profile but acclaimed efforts like 2017's Radio Silence. He remained busy into the 2020s, with two podcasts as well as a collaboration with Diamond D called Gotham, and a 2023 joint effort with Madlib titled Liberation 2.
