Brooklyn. Talib Kweli Greene. Black Star (with Mos Def, 1998 — 'Definition,' 'Respiration,' one of the greatest single-album rap-duo records ever made), then a long, principled solo run: 'Quality' (2002), 'The Beautiful Struggle,' 'Eardrum,' 'Gutter Rainbows,' 'Prisoner of Conscious,' 'Radio Silence.' One of conscious rap's most reliable voices and one of its most gifted lyrical technicians. The Javotti Media label, the activist-and-organizer work alongside the music. Black Star's surprise 2022 reunion record was a real moment.
