Two albums one year? That’s what Talib Kweli looks to be doing this year with the release of his sixth studio album Gravitas.
The Brooklyn, New York rapper said on his new website, kweliclub.com, that the upcoming album is scheduled for a December 15th release date. He says the project will feature production from OhNo, Q-Tip, Quest and Rich Kidd, and more. Talib also says that people who purchase the album will be interacting with him closely.
“When you pre order my newest project, Gravitas, available Dec 15th, you will be buying it directly from me, no middleman, and I will now have a direct relationship with you,” Talib Kweli writes on kweliclub.com. “Who needs this industry when we have each other. The technology exists for me to have this relationship with the fans, and vice versa. It is a grand experiment. Let’s go for it!”
Pre-orders are already made available on KweliClub.com.
