Talib Kweli & Hi Tek

This is one of my favourite songs at the moment. It's taken from the new album by Talib Kweli and producer Hi Tek- who are going under the name Reflection Eternal.

It's just one example from the album of Talib's skill as an MC. He really doesn't waste a line. Presumably it was recorded before the BP oil slick too, but the lyrics still make a lot of sense. Download the album if you can. There are solid guest spots from Jay Electronica, Bun B and Estelle on there.

Clipse & Roots

What a stroke of genius it was to install The Roots as Jimmy Fallon's house band. Here's another great live performance with everyone's favourite crack rappers Clipse.
