An Evening With Talib Kweli
This event has passed.
Acclaimed Brooklyn-based MC and hip-hop icon Talib Kweli brings his top-tier lyricism to the Knight Concert Hall on Sunday, February 4, as part of the Arsht Center's Live at Knight series. The evening performance will kick off with a short set by DJ LS One.
Talib Kweli has earned recognition as one of the most lyrically-gifted, socially aware and politically insightful rappers in the past two decades. His collaborations with Hi-Tek in Reflection Eternal, solo works and collaborations with artists like Pharrell Williams, J Dilla or Madlib highlight his significant influence in the hip hop scene.
In 2011, Kweli founded Javotti Media, a platform supporting independent thinkers in music, films, and books. The People’s Party with Talib Kweli podcast, launched in 2019 in partnership with UPROXX, showcases his exploration of hip hop culture and politics with guests such as Lamar Odom, Don Cheadle, Lil’ Kim, Dax Shepard, Jemele Hill, Ice Cube, Perry Farrell, and Michael Rapaport. As an author, Kweli released "Vibrate Higher" in 2021, a book delving into his upbringing, artistic journey and the impactful role of hip hop as a political force.
