Anyone looking forward to the release of the new Reflection Eternal (Talib Kweli + DJ Hi-Tek) album, “Revolutions Per Minute,” has gotten a taste of the long awaited project in the form of the RE:Union mixtape. However, RE:Union wasn’t just an opportunity for Reflection to plug their upcoming release, it was also a chance for Statik Selektah- the man who mixed the mixtape- to show off his skills in anticipation of his new album “100 Proof: The Hangover.”
This third project for this producer/DJ is full of features with stellar artists, including Mos Def, Consequence, Saigon, Royce Da 59, and of course Talib himself. These two tracks are just a couple that showcase Selektah’s talent at matching his smooth production with some top notch rhymes.
