Description:

Mos Def & Talib Kweli Are Black Star is an album by Black Star, released in 2014. The album is a Picture Disc, Limited Edition hip-hop LP. - .. ARE BLACK STAR

Limited vinyl picture disc LP pressing. MOS DEF & TALIB KWELI ARE BLACK STAR was released on August 18, 1998, to critical acclaim. The title is a reference to the Black Star Line, a shipping company founded by Pan-Africanist Marcus Garvey. The album deals with modern-day issues, philosophies and life in Brooklyn. The two MCs had planned to release solo albums around the same time, but decided instead to collaborate on a full-length album.

"Mos Def & Talib Kweli Are Black Star" is a landmark release in hip-hop, presented here as a Vinyl Maxi by the influential duo Black Star. Comprised of Mos Def (now Yasiin Bey) and Talib Kweli, Black Star emerged from Brooklyn's vibrant underground scene in the late 1990s. Their debut album, released on Rawkus Records in 1998, quickly became an essential classic for its conscious lyrics and innovative production that challenged mainstream rap conventions. The chemistry between Mos Def?s soulful delivery and Talib Kweli?s sharp lyricism set new standards for socially aware hip-hop. This vinyl edition captures their timeless tracks with rich analog warmth, making it a must-have for collectors and fans alike. Rawkus Records was pivotal during the golden era of independent hip-hop, launching careers of artists like Pharoahe Monch and Company Flow alongside Black Star. Renowned for championing authentic voices over commercial trends, Rawkus helped shape the soundscape of late-90s rap culture. Black Star?s legacy includes not only this iconic collaboration but also successful solo careers: Mos Def has earned acclaim as both musician and actor; Talib Kweli continues to be celebrated for his lyrical prowess and activism within music.
