TALIB KWELI IN CONCERT:

When it comes to socially conscious hip hop, Talib Kweli is in a class all by himself. Combining a distinctly stylish delivery, a gift for intricate rhymes, and a passionate political message, his expertly produced tracks are just as likely to inspire debate as they are dancing. Whether he's collaborating with DJ Hi-Tek or rolling solo, Kweli always delivers a top-notch performance -- which is precisely why fans are so fired up about his 2014 Black Star reunion dates with longtime collaborator Mos Def.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Brooklyn-born rapper Talib Kweli Greene initially broke into the rap game through the Beat Junkies' Lyricist Lounge mixtape project. His subsequent work in Cincinnati with the group Mood resulted in a collaboration with producer Hi-Tek, with whom he has enjoyed a career-spanning creative partnership. While these projects made clear his prodigious talent, it wasn't until he linked up with Mos Def as Black Star that he really achieved widespread success. The critical and commercial success of their debut album Mos Def & Talib Kweli are Black Star played a major role in the record industry's growing recognition of underground hip-hop as a serious force, becoming a genre classic in the process. With six solo records now under his belt and a Black Star reunion hitting venues in 2014, the sky is the limit.

FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:

"Never seen Kweli live before, but I'll never forget it. Went out and bought Gutter Rainbows after it, and it's the real deal! Please go support our indie artists!"

"This bought back memories of being a teenager and jamming to REAL MUSIC. It was worth getting home late. Great show. Lots of energy."

"Absolutely amazing! These guys played their hearts out and rocked the place."

  • Lyrical genius

    by Lulu on 5/5/25Living Arts Centre Auditorium - MississaugaRating: 5 out of 5

    Had an amazing time at the Kweli concert. He was engaging, sounded AMAZING, sang his bangers and a blended them in with a few covers. Great show!

  • Got the crowd going

    by Whitney on 5/2/25Rating: 4 out of 5

    I go to a lot of concerts at the Music Farm in Charleston. In April I went and Saw Talib and let me tell you it was energizing. He really engaged with the crowd, his band crushed it and a night was had. I haven't been to too many rap shows but this one was the best. Thanks for a great night and the memories.

  • Awful sound

    by Lola on 4/8/25Headliners Uptown Charlotte - CharlotteRating: 1 out of 5

    The sound was so bad. We couldn’t hear him well at all. It was just really loud and distorted. We told the guys running the sound board but nothing changed.

  • Awesome MC & Incredible Entertainer

    by cnicnac on 3/7/25191 Toole - TucsonRating: 5 out of 5

    Talib knows how to get the crowd moving and bring a relevance, positive message to the show! See him any chance you have.

  • Awesome!

    by BusyB on 9/8/24Rating: 5 out of 5

    Talib Kweli and the band is and was a whole vibe! We truly enjoyed the performance at the City Winery in Chicago Illinois.

  • Awesome Show

    by Lisa B on 4/2/24The Asylum at Masonic Temple - ClevelandRating: 5 out of 5

    There was heat this time in the Asylum room which was a plus. The show ran on time. The two opening acts were full of energy. Talib was top notch. One of the best shows I've seen. Drinks are quite pricey.

  • Fun show!

    by Jake on 11/22/21Aura - PortlandRating: 4 out of 5

    Ticketmaster rooks you by making you think that you can get insurance on your tickets free. It doesn't give you a price and next thing I know I got to charged $16 for two tickets. Not talib kwali's fault, but I'm still not happy

  • Great show

    by Brivera on 11/8/21The Queen - WilmingtonRating: 5 out of 5

    Talib put on a great show. Just wish it was longer. The venue was perfect size and easy to find parking.

  • Good Show

    by Hiphop on 10/9/19The Fillmore Silver Spring presented by Cricket Wireless - Silver SpringRating: 4 out of 5

    I missed the fact that Jay Electronica was not there but Dead Prez and Talib Kweli put on a great show

  • Concert was not good, very disappointing.

    by Richard on 10/7/19The Fillmore Silver Spring presented by Cricket Wireless - Silver SpringRating: 2 out of 5

    Talib Kweli didn’t even come on until midnight! His style live, left a lot to be desired.
