Monday Music Junkie: Mos Def & Talib Kweli, Malcom Middleton, Islands and More

Shout Outs

A couple weeks ago, Mos Def brought a six-piece band to the University of Michigan to pay tribute to the late J Dilla. Download the 90-minute performance at Rappers I Know, here.

Speaking of tributes, Mos Def’s frequent cohort Talib Kweli recently teamed up with Kanye West for an ode to mothers. The track didn’t make it on the final cut of last year’s Eardrum, but you can grab it below, courtesy of Pitchfork.
