Renowned rap duo Black Star, consisting of Yasiin Bey (formerly known as Mos Def) and Talib Kweli, will be returning to the UK this November for three nights to celebrate 30 years in the music industry.
They will perform at the O2 Academy Brixton on November 11th, marking their first appearance in London in seven years. Following this, they will perform at Manchester’s O2 Victoria Warehouse on Saturday, November 15th, before wrapping up their tour at Birmingham’s O2 Academy on Sunday, November 16th.
The duo will showcase tracks from their debut album 'Mos Def & Talib Kweli Are Black Star' and their second album 'No Fear Of Time'. Their first album established their reputation as pioneers of socially conscious rap, featuring incisive political insights, Afrocentric themes, and poetic lyricism over soulful, jazz-influenced beats. Their synergy and dedication to authenticity turned the album into a cult classic and a model for many underground artists to follow.
After enjoying individual successes, Black Star came together again in 2022 with 'No Fear of Time', produced by Madlib, reaffirming that their impact remains strong.
General ticket sales for the three performances will commence at 10 am on August 8th through TEG HERE.
