HOSTED BY:
TALIB KWELI
Today, Talib Kweli stands as one of the world’s most talented & most accomplished hip hop artists. Whether working with Mos Def as one part of Black Star, partnering with producer Hi-Tek for Reflection Eternal, releasing landmark solo material or collaborating with Kanye West, Pharrell Williams, Just Blaze, J Dilla or Madlib, Kwelli commands attention by delivering top-tier lyricism, crafting captivating stories and showing the ability to rhyme virtually over any tpye of instrumental. In 2011, Kweli founded Javotti Media, which is self defined as “a platform for individual thinkers & doers.” Kweli has set out to make Javotti Media (which released his 2011 album, Gutter Rainbows, and is named after his paternal grandmother) into a media powerhouse that releases music, films and books.
