US superstar Talib Kweli has released a new collaborative album titled “Liberation 2” that was inspired by his recent trip to Africa and includes features from Kweli’s son and daughter, a posthumous feature from Mac Miller and South Africa’s very own Cassper Nyovest.
Kweli took to Instagram to announce the new album and gave a special shoutout to Nyovest and Nigerian artist Seun Kuti, who is also featured on the same song as Nyovest, called “Nat Turner”.
Kweli also said that fellow American rappers Vic Mensa and Chance The Rapper played a role in filming a video for the song during the Ghana Black Star Festival.
“Africa was a huge inspiration for #liberation2 so it was my honor and my pleasure to connect with my brothers from the continent @casspernyovest from South Africa and @bigbirdkuti from Nigeria for this international diasporic link up. Thanks to @vicmensa and @chancetherapper we were able to film a video for this song Nat Turner in Ghana during the Black Star festival. Stay tuned for that! #liberation2 now available exclusively at @hearluminary get that Luminary app today or hit luminarypodcasts.com for that free 7 day trial…”
Fans on Twitter were quick to congratulate Nyovest on this achievement.
