What I'm Watching: Talib Kweli - "State of Grace" ft. Abby Dobson

SUPERB Productions

Talking about J-Live not listening to cats who could flow but ain't really saying anything comes Talib Kweli with "State of Grace" dropping tons of science on this track off his album "Gravitas". A must cop, especially if you're a fan of Talib.



"Gravitas" available at www.kweliclub.com

J-Live - "Not Listening" (Prod. by Korede)


I nodded my head extra hard listening to what J-Live was spititng on this track because I know the pitfalls he talks about here that rappers/emcees succumb to. Hard to listen to cats that are dope not really saying much. Word up. Peep the track. Hopefully, it inspires them to improve.
