Since emerging as a member of Black Star in the late 1990s, Talib Kweli is one of the few artists making commercially viable music that matters. The Brooklyn bred rapper's hard-hitting music has been able to educate and entertain simultaneously. So it is no wonder that at the peak of their fame, both Jay-Z and 50 Cent named Talib Kweli as one of their favourite rappers. Talib Kweli makes his Warner Bros debut with his first album released on his own label, Blacksmith. Eardrum, his fourth solo album, delivers music that both sparks the mind an makes the body move. Solidifying Kweli's status among rap's most talented and important voices, Eardrum deserves to be heard. The lyrically and sonically potent Ear Drum demonstrates that strong, powerful messages can serve as the backbone for music at its best. Eardrum includes the standout tracks "Listen" and "Hot Thing" and features guest artists/producers such as Hi-Tek, Justine Timberlake and Kanye West.
