New album “Ear Drum” to drop soon from Talib Kweli
Brooklyn bred rapper Talib Kweli will soon release Ear Drum, a follow-up to Kweli’s 2004 critically acclaimed release Beautiful Struggle.
The Ear Drum album is being released on Talib Kweli’s own imprint Blacksmith Music Corporation, which is distributed by Warner Bros. Records.
“This record [Ear Drum], I just tried to make it about the sounds and about how the sounds hit your ear,” Kweli told AllHipHop.com.
“The other records I’ve done, I’ve wanted to create certain types of songs, songs that I had in my head. On this one, the music sort of dictated where the songs went.”
“Nora Jones—that record is done and is definitely gonna be on my album,” Kweli said. “Mad Lib did the beat. I don’t care what kind of music you do. Artists can’t be in no boxes; we can’t have limitations. I tried to heighten my whole career like that.”
Ear Drum will include production from Hi-Tek, Rick Rubin, Mad Lib, Kanye West and guest appearances from Norah Jones, UGK, Sizzla, Jean Grae and others.
Kweli’s Blacksmith Music Corporation is also preparing releases from Jean Grae and Xzibit’s Cali-based group, Strong Arm Steady.
Talib Kweli’s Ear Drum hits stores on Oct. 10.
