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!

The rapper whose first three albums received critical acclaim and commercial success has not released any new material in 10 years but she recently confirmed rumours of a new album titled ‘Liplock’ during an interview with Essence magazine.

“The album is coming out this year, for sure. It took a long time just because I wanted to make sure that it was perfect and right. I’m really happy with it. In fact, I’m more than happy with it – I love it, she said.

Eve who is currently based in London will be supported by SA rapper, HHP, DJ Dallas (USA) and Ready D (CT) and myself in her Durban performance.
