Talib Kweli is extending his run on Luminary. The Black Star member will release the sequel to his 2007 album with Madlib, Liberation, next month. Similar to last years Black Star album No Fear of Time, Liberation 2 will be a Luminary-exclusive.
The first Liberation 2 single, “After These Messages,” features Kweli’s son, Amani, while additional tracks on the album feature the rapper’s daughter, Diani. Liberation 2 is Kweli’s latest album available for streaming on Luminary. Kweli and Yasiin Bey are also co-hosts of the Luminary original podcast, The Midnight Miracle, with Dave Chappelle.
While recording Liberation 2, Kweli made two trips to Africa, including Ghana during the Black Star Line Festival. Appearing on the album are Q-Tip, Wildchild, Roc Marciano, Westside Gunn, and a posthumous contribution from Mac Miller.
