Talib Kweli sets new release date for "Prisoner Of Conscious"

In his new interview with RollingStone, Talib Kweli revealed a few details about his upcoming releases in 2013. First, the new album, Prisoner Of Conscious, which was originally set to drop in 2012 but pushed back due to sample clearance issues, will now hit stores on April 23rd. Look for guest appearances from Kendrick Lamar, Nelly, Busta Rhymes, Curren$y, Ryan Leslie, and more - and hit the link for the interview for more details about the process of adding tracks to the album in the past couple of months.

And yes, there is a Black Star update!

Black Star's future depends on timing and schedules. One night in late 2011, while listening to Aretha Franklin records after performing together, Bey and Kweli decided to explore making an Aretha-themed mixtape. The next day they cut four tracks, among them "Fix Up" and "You Already Knew." But other commitments have since taken priority, Kweli said, adding, "I would love to get back into it whenever he's ready."
