Talib Kweli ft. Maino - To The Music (Prod. by 9th Wonder)

This one won't make the cut for Talib Kweli's October release Prisoner Of Conscious, but the 9th Wonder produced cut "To The Music" will land on his mixtape Attack The Block along with a few more unreleased tracks. Maino on a 9th beat? I can dig it.

Now this is a lineup we've been waiting for. Talib Kweli taps Curren$y and Kendrick Lamar to take on this Symbolic One production on "Push Thru," a song that bounces from international crises to independent hustling. Look for this track to appear on Talib's forthcoming Prisoner Of Conscious album.

Mack Maine ft. Talib Kweli & Lil Wayne – Celebrate

Mack Maine is usually behind a desk taking care of YMCMB business, but he takes a break from signing everyone under the sun on "Celebrate." Opening up the track is... Talib Kweli. Yup. His brother Lil Wayne also adds his sing songy flow to the mix.

Fix the side eyes, Gangstas. I know Talib Kweli and Ace Hood on a track isn't something you probably ever saw coming, but I think that's a great thing. Stream "Let 'Em In" from Talib's We Run This, Vol. 7    below, and be sure to pick the project up on iTunes now.
