BlackStar(YasiinBey&TalibKweli)

American hip hop duo Black Star made a breakthrough with their debut album Mos Def & Talib Kweli Are Black Star, released in Autumn 1998. The ground-breaking album also led to the beginning of successful solo careers for both members, Yasiin Bey and Talib Kweli. The two have remained prominent voices in conscious rap ever since, and they have continued together as Black Star by releasing singles and their second album No Fear of Time in Summer 2022. The album was produced by Madlib and received critical acclaim. Black Star have made music on their own terms since the beginning, and they still are one of the most important acts in alternative rap.
