Talib Kweli Speaks On Free Album

    Talib Kweli spoke out recently via his myspace page to let them know about his collaborative effort with Madlib.

    Viva la Liberation!

    Happy
    New Year! Liberation is here! Shout out to my brother Mad Lib, for
    being so creative and inspirational, and for giving me a canvas to
    paint on. This project was inspired by his consistency, it was
    something I wanted to be a part of. In this era of over produced and
    over marketed product, Mad Lib leads the pack of independent artists
    who could care less about all of that. I am a part of the music
    industry, and lord knows I’m needed, but for our own sanity we must
    step outside the system and create that which is not packaged for mass
    consumption. This is also a gift to the fans who stick by me whether
    some corporation is currently promoting me or not. Now, I love all
    music, and my albums so far, including eardrum, reflect those
    influences. This album is a straight ahead, sample driven hiphop
    record, from two of the best doing it. Some fans will say this is the
    sound they want to hear from me all the time. If so, congratulations,
    you got your wish. However, do not use this to speculate what eardrum
    will sound like. It is a different project with different influences.
    As a matter of fact, be on the lookout for the video for More or Less,
    dropping this week as well. I will continue to push the envelope
    creatively in the spirit of my ancestors. RIP James Brown, Gerald
    Levert, J Dilla. Shout out to C Smyth, Eothen, Dave Dar, SMT studios,
    Tyson, Consequence, Elzhi, Res, Candice Anderson, Strong Arm Steady,
    Chace Infinite. Blacksmith the Movement in stores now. The year of the
    Blacksmith has begun.

    Talib Kweli, BKMC
