He Came, He Conquered.

Talib Kweli and DJ Hi-Tek (along with special guests Res and Mos Def) ripped the stage at Blue Note last week. They did all their old hits from “Train of Thought” like “Love Language” and “The Blast”. HI-Tek was the producer-genius behind “Black Starr”—the masterpiece created at the turn of the century by Mos Def and Talib Kweli. Being in that legendary jazz bar, and hearing that good music brought back nostalgic memories of that time and how life was. How hip-hop was. How New York was. I miss the Old New York. The pre – 9/11 New York… But I digress.

For the few of you who might not know-- check out one of Reflection Eternal's classic hits:

The blast - Talib Kweli & Hi-Tek

Kweli is currently on tour and you can check the schedule and try to cop tickets by going to his official website: www.talibkweli.com. Last week I had the pleasure of being backstage with the photo-genius Techie, Psycho Les & Ju Ju ((of the Beatnuts), Res & Graph Nobel (of Idle Warship), and of course— the almighty Mos Def. All very good people, and all very good representations of what CCW stands for. The true, the few the bold, and the brave!
