In November of 2021, Madlib teased some unreleased Black Star at his DJ set at the Day N Vegas music festival in Las Vegas, Nevada. One of the tracks was first heard in Dave Chapelle’s controversial Netflix special, The Closer. Talib Kweli confirmed the album was finished and is currently waiting for a release.
“The project with Madlib is done. We just trying to figure out when and how to release it,” Kweli told Hot 97’s Ebro Darden in 2019.
The duo teased new music on their Dave Chapelle-assisted podcast, Midnight Miracle, on Luminary. The show has had guests like Kevin Hart, Questlove, Chris Rock, and Donnell Rawlings.
Stay tuned for updates on the new Black Star album and other hip-hop news.
