Talib Kweli + Hi-Tek are releasing their sophomore outing,  Revolutions Per Minute.   Exclusively produced by Hi-Tek, features on the album include appearances by Estelle, Bilal, Bun B, Mos Def, Jay Electronica, J. Cole, Res and Chester French. The album covers an array of topics that discuss the shortcomings of America (“Strangers”), society’s obsession with fame (“Got Work”), an honest discussion of drug use (“Lift’in Off”), the pining for a lover returning home (“Midnight Hour”), a music history lesson (“In the Red”), and even a track about Nigeria’s corruption-riddled oil business (“Black Gold”).

DJ Serv1 just hit us with a link to a Guru tribute mixtape he just completed.  Check it here.

DJ Eko just let us know she is djing at Simone’s signing at Sephora SF  tomorrow from 6pm-9pm.   He’s there to promote the new tokidoki cosmetics, which you can see here (the site also has wallpapers, videos, and an iphone app).  He will also be at South Coast on Saturday.

Autographs will be given on a first-come, first-served basis, and the first 200 people who spend $25 or more on tokidoki purchases will receive a tokidoki Frenzie charm.
