Talib Kweli

He was recently in the country for the Sprite Uncontainable Talent Search & managed to hang with the man for 10min for an amazing interview you'll never get to hear because somehow the audio got erased off the flash mic I used... Anyway I managed to grab a pic with the man AGAIN. The last time he was here for Black August all those years ago, we took a pic (I was HELLA young!) He's just released a mixtape with Dj Z-Trip... You need to get your hands on this mixtape... It's one of the nicest out there, didn't expect this from Talib. This is the real hip hop!

People Mag just gave this blog a dope review, judging from the attention it's gonna be getting... I think it's time I added some eye-candy... Any suggestions?
