The Hip Hop veteran Talib Kweli updated his website with none other than a post directly from him, informing fans of his latest project, release date and purchasing info to which he states will be happening directly through him creating a more intimate relationship with his loyal fans, no middle man! Hit the jump for more!
Talib Kweli posted on his website, kweliclub that although his latest album “Prisoners Of Consciousness” is still fresh from an early summer release, the man that never sleeps will be releasing yet another project before the year is up!:
“When you pre order my newest project, Gravitas, available Dec 15th, you will be buying it directly from me, no middleman, and I will now have a direct relationship with you. Who needs this industry when we have each other. The technology exists for me to have this relationship with the fans, and vice versa. It is a grand experiment. Lets go for it! Gravitas is my sixth solo album. It will feature production from OhNo, Q-Tip, Lord Quest, Rich Kidd and more.”
XXL reported that he later continued:
“Imagine me being able to look up every member of my fanbase on my iPhone and actually know who they are on a personal level,” he typed. “This is the dream I’ve always had. To be able to actually recognize you at the meet & greet. To be able to actually know how you were feeling yesterday because I’m following you on Instagram and Twitter. That’s why I’ve started this club. Most people are only worried about sales figures and sales volume,” he continued. “I am worried about you—the people whose money make my dream possible. I want to be able to say thank you, not just to a huge group of anonymous fans, but to specific ones that actually care about my career and the art that I’m sharing with the world.”
The post promises greatness with just those named behind the production of his project, and the connection that he is trying to build with his fans seems promising, can’t wait to hear cuts from the project already!
