Talib Kweli Announces Black Star Reunion Album For 2012
In an interview with MTV, Talib Kweli has revealed that the Black Star reunion album with Mos Def aka Yaasin Bey is due in stores in 2012. Fans can also soon expect to hear the final studio version of ‘Fix Up’ that they debuted on the Colbert Report show last month.
Me and Mos are focused on independence and quality of sound. We’re really into a Madlib/Dilla thing right now. Anything you hear from us is probably going to be that type of sound. And it’s about independence, so we are trying to find out the right mediums to get the songs out. When you heard “Fix Up” on Colbert, it wasn’t even mixed; it was something we recorded a week before. Now we’re at the mixing stage of the song and we are going to put that out ourselves. We have a bunch of songs recorded. We are just trying to figure out the best way to release them, whether it’s going to be one by one, EP or album. Right now, the plan is to release “Fix Up” and then Yaasin is working on a Yaasin Bey Presents project and then we’ll see how it goes.
When do you hope to release it?
[Pause, then slowly] I am working to put out a Black Star project for people to buy sometime next year.

New Music: Black Star (Talib Kweli & Mos Def) – Untitled (Snippet) (Prod. by Madlib)
Here we go with a new unreleased track from raps greatest duo Black Star, have some more info on the track below. Check It out and enjoy.
Can this be a sign of a Black Star reunion in 2011? Maybe so, just the other night Stones Throw producer/DJ J Rocc paid a visit to the BBC Radio 1 show the other night to play a set, and it was there when he unveiled an exclusive Black Star record produced by Madlib. Unfortunately, it’s just a snippet, but the two minutes you’ll hear from Mos’s bars are nothing less than epic.
