The duo of yasiin bey (formerly Mos Def) and Talib Kweli known as Blackstar have dropped their LP No Fear of Time for the first time on vinyl and CD! Thanks to our friends over at Grandstand and Rhymesayers Entertainment, we were able to get an advance of the LP so we could offer you our insights on the record!
The 2022 sophomore album of the hip-hop super duo of bey and Kweli. No Fear of Time reunited one of hip-hop's most influential duos after their highly influential 1998 debut Mos Def & Talib Kweli Are Black Star. What also sets No Fear of Time apart is that it was it brought the duo together with highly influential producer Madlib.
The release features several variations including a deluxe double-LP edition which has both the main version and the instrumentals limited to 2000 units and features a foil and matte gatefold jacket and plenty of other goodies to sink your teeth into!
The single LP features gorgeous gatefold jacket with lyrics and fantastic photos of bey and Kweli. The record plays like a dream on the table, finally bringing this rare gem to listeners hands in a physical release. We can firmly say there's nothing like it. If you're remotely a fan of hip-hop, this is a must have for your collection!
Also per Blackstar's press release: "An exclusive collection of apparel and accessories are available at blackstarkeepshining.com and rhymesayers.com, with a portion of proceeds going to savethechildren.org benefiting relief efforts in DRC, Sudan, Haiti and Gaza."
