Black Star

Half of Black Star, Talib Kweli, just released a new album with Madlib, and he has some dates of his own, too.

Black Star brought out Madlib, and Ice T also reprised his Chappelle’s Show “Play Hater’s Ball” character in a House of Dragons parody.

Black Star (aka Yasiin Bey fka Mos Def and Talib Kweli) will play a last-minute NYC show on Tuesday, following their performance on this weekend’s Dave Chappelle-hosted episode of SNL.
