Talib Kweli:
If skills sold, Talib Kweli would have been one of the most commercially successful rappers of his time. As it was, however, the earnest MC became one of the most critically successful rappers of his time, which dawned in the late '90s when he rapped alongside Mos Def and DJ Hi-Tek as part of the group Black Star. This trio of up-and-comers and their widely acclaimed self-titled 1998 album debut, Black Star, helped make Rawkus Records one of the premier underground rap outposts of the late '90s. Kweli and Hi-Tek then collaborated as a duo on Reflection Eternal (2000), which firmly established them apart from Mos Def, who had gone solo. For a moment there, Kweli and his Rawkus associates seemed like a full-fledged movement -- a return to the sort of hip-hop associated with the so-called golden age. However, it wasn't to be. Rawkus somehow lost its momentum, and its roster sadly dispersed, leaving Kweli on his own to carry the torch. He continued his output, beginning with a proper solo debut, Quality (2002), and though he didn't rack up towering sales numbers, he remained a critical favorite. In fact, he was one of the most admired and respected rappers on the major-label circuit during the mid-2000s, best evidenced by Jay-Z's famous Black Album rhyme: "If skills sold, truth be told/I'd probably be, lyrically, Talib Kweli."
In January 2001, the current owners completed the expansion of the night club by taking over the building next door, thus doubling the size of the club. A brand new sound system was installed, along with a new and enlarged dancefloor, new stage, new lights, 2 new handicapped-equipped modern bathrooms. Add to that a full bar with friendly bartenders and a heated patio and you’ll find a clean, classy and cool Marin County Venue. A great place for musicians to play and patrons to interact.
Come and enjoy our eclectic mix of World, National, and hot Local acts in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere!
