Max Tannone: new Talib Kweli remixes
Posted by jamie on Nov 24, 2010
Remix machine Max Tannone has added Talib Kweli vocals to some dub tracks.
“It features hip-hop artist Talib Kweli rapping against a backdrop of dubbed out reggae beats. I had the opportunity to meet Talib after Dub Kweli came out, and he told me he really liked it. That was very gratifying to hear, as positive words from the original artist are the ultimate compliment you can receive.”
Check it out here. Again, it’s available for download.

Name your price, and then get the song here. It’s the best right-click you’ll do today.
*In a hip-hop sense, rather than a disgusting one.
