Kweli's was the first generation to grow up with hip-hop as an established culture-a genre of music that has expanded to include its own pantheon of heroes, rich history and politics, and distinct worldview.Eventually, childhood friendships turned into collaborations, and Kweli gained notoriety as a rapper in his own right. From working with some of hip-hop's greatest-including Mos Def, Common, Kanye West, Pharrell Williams, and Kendrick Lamar-to selling books out of the oldest African-American bookstore in Brooklyn, and ultimately leaving his record label and taking control of his own recording career, Kweli tells the winding, always compelling story of the people and events that shaped his life as well as the culture of hip-hop that informs American culture at large.Vibrate Higher illuminates Talib Kweli's upbringing and artistic success and gives life to hip-hop as a political force-one that galvanized the Black Lives Matter movement and serves as a continual channel for resistance against the rising tide of white nationalism.Release Year: 2022 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
