Black Star, made up of hip hop heavyweights Yasiin Bey (aka Mos Def) and Talib Kwel, rose from the underground movement in the late 1990s with the release of album “Mos Def & Talib Kweli are Black Star,” now hailed as one of the greatest hip hop albums of our time. Since then, these hip hop masters have been spitting lyrics and dropping beats that have helped shape underground alternative hip-hop, bringing it further into the mainstream eye.
