Brooklyn-based rapper Talib Kweli earned his stripes as one of the most lyrically-gifted, socially aware, and politically insightful rappers to emerge in the last 20 years. His travels around the globe as one of rap’s most in-demand performers combined with his conversations with political activists and his genre-straddling work with Idle Warship and others caused Kweli to realize that he was limited in a sense, a prisoner of sorts of his own success as one of the world’s best rappers with something significant to say.
“My music has been associated with those types of causes, with positivity, spirituality, intelligence and being thought-provoking and such,” he says. “I think sometimes people get caught up in that part of me as an artist and don’t necessarily understand the musicality or fully appreciate the music and the entertainment value behind what I do. I tried to stretch my wings a little bit and bring something that was less beholden to the world of hip-hop and more existing in the world in general.”
The result of this artistic growth and exploration arrives with Kweli’s dynamic Prisoner Of Conscious (available on CD & LP), an artistic tour de force that signals the start of the next chapter of Kweli’s remarkable career. He spent more time working on Prisoner Of Conscious than any of his other albums, a three-year journey that found him exploring new vibes, joining in some unlikely collaborations, and going to foreign lands.
Prisoner Of Conscious arrives as an artistic triumph, a collection that embodies Talib Kweli’s robust creative vision. “I wanted to put out an album that really can support the artist that I’ve become,” he says. “I’m a touring artist. I’m an artist that’s internationally known. I’m not just a local artist at this point in my career. I’m cognizant of the fact that what I do is beyond where it started. I’m trying to reach the apex of where I am now, but without turning my back on or dismissing what I’ve done before.”
Catch Talib Kweli later that day at Rock the Bells Hip Hop Music Festival!

We regretfully announce that due to the new requirements by the San Francisco Department of Parks and Recreation, there will be NO “DOIN’ IT IN THE PARK” this year. This is the first time in 10 years that we will not be celebrating Labor Day at Golden Gate Park, with you – our family.
Doin’ It In The Park was truly a labor of love between friends who wanted to give back to City for supporting our passion for music and nightlife. This was an event by us, for all of us. From funding the event to logistics, we did it all. But do to the exponential growth of the event, the City is requiring more than we can handle, financially.
Next year we are planning to bring Doin’ It In The Park back, with full sponsorship for our 10 year anniversary.
With that said, we will be celebrating Labor Day at The Phoenix Hotel on SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 1ST. DOIN IT AT THE PHOENIX! The event will be from 12-7pm and FREE. We will also be providing FREE BBQ. The event will be 21+. Then we take the party to MIGHTY for Doin’ It After Dark!
Thank you for understanding. See you at Doin’ It At The Phoenix!
