Talib Kweli LIVE concert in Leicester

Talib Kweli returns with the sharp and insightful lyrics that established him as one of hip-hop’s greats. The Brooklyn-based MC earned his stripes as one of the most lyrically-gifted, socially aware, and politically insightful rappers to emerge in the last 20 years, continuing to set the standard for conscious hip-hop. A legend in the game, his resume includes work with Black Star and Reflection Eternal, alongside a critically acclaimed solo career. Kweli never fails to enthral audiences with his signature layered lyricism and top-tier flow. DJ's on the night - Jon1st & DJ KMS Support - Lloyd Luther - Naji Wavey
