Versus: Talib Kweli Em Lisboa

Versus: Talib Kweli - September 5th - B.Leza, Lisbon. 1998's The Manifesto woke the world up to one of the best lyricists ever. It's not just us who say it, Jay-Z also said it in his “Moment Of Clarity”: "If skills sold truth be told, I'd probably be lyrically Talib Kweli." Talib Kweli Greene - Brooklyn - New York. Half of Black Star (with Yasiin Bey aka Mos Def) and owner of one of the most extensive discographies in contemporary Rap. Together with Hi-Tek, Kweli is part of one of the best albums and collectives of all time: “Train of Thought” by “Reflection Eternal”. It is unanimous and timeless. TK is also the face of one of the best “moments” ever witnessed in terms of relevance in North American Rap. We're talking about Rawkus, the publisher responsible for countless releases for more than a decade. 2002 was the year of release of his first solo album: “Quality”. Dave Chappelle opens an album that introduces us, among others, to a (young and practically unknown until then) Kanye West, who gave us among others: “Get By” or “Guerrilla Monsoon Rap” with Black Thought and Pharoahe Monch. It’s a career made up of very important details. Too many to analyze as we would like. This was followed by “The Beautiful Struggle”, “Eardrum”, etc… Collaborations with The Neptunes, Just Blaze, Mary J. Blige, will.i.am, Terrace Martin, Kendrick Lamar or J. Cole, among others. On a collaborative level, “Liberation” 1 and 2 with Madlib, “Indie 500” with 9th Wonder, “The Seven” with Styles P, “Gotham” with Diamond D and “No Fear of Time” the long-awaited second album by Black Star . Talib Kweli has done and continues to do too much. It is impossible to list everything. On September 5th, it will be possible to have this perception, when Kweli steps on the B.Leza stage, to present Lisbon with a discography of classic, after classic. And that’s “Good to You”! Tickets are divided into three distinct sales phases. Each phase has a limited number of tickets available and can now be purchased. First come, first served. Versus. History in the making.
