Black Star will be performing live in Honolulu for one night only at Aloha Tower Marketplace.  Hip-hop legends Mos Def and Talib Kweli emerged onto the Underground scene as Black Star in 1998 with their one and only self-titled album.  Since then both have gone onto create very successful solo careers.

Mos Def has grown into a multi-talented MC, rapper, singer, actor and poet with the launch of four solo albums including Black on Both Sides, The New Danger, True Magic, and The Ecstatic. He’s also appeared in several of Hollywood hits; Be Kind Rewind, The Chappelle Show, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, and The italian Job.

Talib Kweli has also launched four solo albums including Quality, The Beautiful Struggle, Right About Now, and Eardrum, which debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200 charts.  He’s appeared on several hit shows like MTV’s “Made” and “Wild ‘N Out”, and The Chappelle Show.  Most recently he’s formed his own record label called Blacksmith Records.
Nearly 12 years later Mos Def and Talib Kweli are back together to re-create a night of profound poetry that may never be heard together again. Special guests include Tasho, Creed Chameleon and Goapele.
