In 1998 Mos Def & Talib Kweli formed Black Star and dropped their self-titled debut album on Rawkus Records. The title is a reference to the Black Star Line, a shipping company founded by Pan-Africanist Marcus Garvey. The album deals with modern-day issues, philosophies and life in Brooklyn. The two MCs had planned to release solo albums around the same time, but decided instead to collaborate on a full-length album.
Pressed on limited two-tone star print vinyl. Includes a full-color fold-out insert.
