Groundbreaking Brooklyn rapper Talib Kweli first made his name as half of Black Star, alongside Mos Def. Their acclaimed 1998 album mixed "rugged street beats and rhymes brainy enough for boho B-boys" (Entertainment Weekly), rejecting the violence and nihilism of gangsta rap in favor of a message of empowerment. Kweli has since put out more than a dozen albums, each radiating an "emotional immediacy and political awareness that was largely absent from hip-hop" (Pitchfork) before he came on the scene. Twenty years into his career and still pushing boundaries, Talib Kweli collaborated with Durham's own multi-GRAMMY-winning producer 9th Wonder on the 2015 album Indie 500.
As The Stanhope House continues to gain recognition in the hip-hop and R&B community, Talib Kweli joins the scene for an up-close-and-personal performance you won't find anywhere else. It's the perfect venue to show off his combination of social consciousness and pure lyrical virtuosity.
