Biography
The Brooklyn-based MC has established himself as one of the most lyrically gifted, socially aware, and politically insightful rappers to emerge in the last two decades.
“I’m a touring artist with international recognition. My career has expanded far beyond its beginnings. I’m focused on reaching new heights without forgetting or dismissing my earlier work,” he reflects.
With nearly 20 years of music behind him, Talib Kweli is widely regarded as one of the most talented and accomplished hip-hop artists in the world. From his collaborations with Mos Def as part of Black Star and his work with producer Hi-Tek in Reflection Eternal to his solo projects and partnerships with artists like Kanye West, Pharrell Williams, Just Blaze, J Dilla, and Madlib, Kweli consistently delivers top-tier lyricism and compelling narratives, showcasing his versatility across a wide range of instrumentals.
In 2011, Kweli founded Javotti Media, a platform designed for independent thinkers and creators. Named after his paternal grandmother, Javotti Media has grown into a multifaceted enterprise that releases music, films, and books, including Kweli’s 2011 album Gutter Rainbows.
