Talib Kweli
Caught in that purgatory between the dirt-poor underground and the Manna-filled mainstream, wordsmith Talib Kweli may not have a place to call home, but he maintains respect in all circles. One half of duo Black Star (with Mos Def), Kweli is steadily climbing towards fame with more high profile collabos. His solo album, 'Eardrum,' drops on July 24.
