Black Star:Mos Def & Talib Kweli-Perform On Jimmy Fallon Show
We all love a reunion. Especially when it’s someone or something we’ve missed in our lives. Wednesday night on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, Black Star, which features Brooklyn homies Mos Def and Talib Kweli, reunited to perform their latest collaboration, “History,” which appears on Mos’ new album The Ecstatic.
The rappers, known both for their collaborations and solo work, first partnered up in 1998 (Mos Def and Talib Kweli are Black Star), and have performed together countless times through the years. However, this was the first time on national television, and alongside The Roots. Featuring Amber Coffman and Haley Dekle of the Dirty Projectors on backup, the performance is short and sweet, kinda like last night’s dessert. And just like that dessert, enjoy.

The 90’s was great era for hip-hop but it was equally great for R&B. Many acts have come and go since then, but the foursome of Jagged Edge has seemed to have staying power. Since their dropping their debut single "The Way That You Talk" back in 1997, JE has been a regular site on the R&B scene. 
C-Ride is used to the spotlight, even if you’re not used to his name yet. The Florida representor has been a staple of the Epidemic Music/Polo Grounds team for years now. After making a name for himself on the underground, he’s ready to make his presence known in the mainstream.
"I aint never left the scene! I’m always grinding." Bold words like that are normally served for underground artists still trying to get their buzz up. You wouldn't expect an artists who has signed to major deals, posted hit records and has sold units to still speak about grinding it out. But Yo Gotti isn't the average artist
