Talib Kweli + Dead Prez
Celebrate the new year in style with two absolute legends of hip hop.
Overview
Celebrate the new year in style with two absolute legends of hip hop. You might know Talib Kweli from the amazing album he made with Mos Def in the late '90s — Mos Def & Talib Kweli are Black Star — but he has been making intelligent, insightful and lyrically rich music for almost two decades. A born communicator and natural performer, Kweli comes armed with tunes from his new album Prisoner of Conscious, which features the likes of Miguel, Kendrick Lamar and Busta Rhymes.
Joining him on this massive double bill is Dead Prez, one of the most respected outfits in the history of the genre, who follow in the footsteps of Public Enemy, KRS-One and 2pac by using brilliant, banging tunes to address the impact of unthinking consumerism, rampant sexism and homophobia in hop hop. Their signature tune, 'Hip Hop', is an incredible example of their fiercely intelligent art — the perfect answer to all that crass, commercial crap about cars, chains and clubs.
