Talib Kweli

Talib Kweli (born Talib Kweli Greene, 1975) is a rapper from Brooklyn, New York. He is one of of the most prominent rappers in underground hip-hop, and is critically acclaimed frequently, despite not being incredibly commercially succesful. His name is Arabic, meaning 'the seeker' or 'student of truth and knowledge'. His parents were both college professors: his mother an English professor, his father a sociology professor.

As a youth, he was drawn to Afrocentric rappers, such as De La Soul and soon began recording with producer Hi Tek of Cincinatti and rapper Mos Def who he had known since the two met at an NYU theatrical studies program.

With Mos Def (together the pair were known as Black Star), Kweli achieved some mainstream success with the Black Star album while Mos Def went on to a solo career, Kweli released the Hi Tek-produced Reflection Eternal in 2000, which sold better than most alternative hip hop albums at the time. He has since released a critically acclaimed solo debut, Quality, in 2002.

In 2004, Kweli released his second solo album, The Beautiful Struggle, which features production more akin to commercial rap, while Kweli's lyrical content retains its powerful social-political content.

Lyrics @ Thestateofhiphop.com.

"Battling years of denied history, lies and mysteries/ Wives with misty eyes watching their husbands be beaten viciously/ Battling the wilderness of North America/ runnin by the river only stopping to pray; chased by predators"
-Talib Kweli
