"...Prisoner of Conscious travels beyond the issues that established Kweli as a rap pioneer and gets more personal..." - Billboard

"Erudite Brooklyn rhymer Talib Kweli sets the bar high for rap..." - USA TODAY

"On his fifth solo album, Kweli expands the scope of his craft, giving his indelible brand of East Coast rhyme science a more world-wise sense of scenery...Prisoner of Conscious is the sound of an MC running free." - Relix

Talib Kweli, nearly 20 years into his prolific career, stands as one of the most gifted lyricists, acclaimed rappers and in-demand performers in music today. Prisoner of Conscious, four years in the making, ushers in a new artistic chapter for Kweli - one that embodies his exceptional musicality and robust creative vision while aiming to give everyone something to relate to. The dynamic collection of songs, colored with live instrumentation, was born from Kweli's desire to expand past his reputation for making heavy socio-political statements into more of a personal realm. Finished off with production work from J Cole, RZA, Symbolic One (Kanye West) and Sean C and LV (Jay-Z), Prisoner of Conscious will soon assume its well-deserved place among Kweli's lauded catalogue.

Upcoming Talib Kweli U.S. Tour Dates:
May 4                  Dallas, TX @ Sandiga 813 (DJ set only)
May 10                Lawrence, KS @ The Granada (live show)
