Talib Kweli - Outstanding
Artist: Talib Kweli
Featuring: Ryan Leslie
Producer: Boi-1da
Album: Attack the Block
Label: Javotti/Caroline
Although Talib Kweli‘s last release, Congregation, may still be making noise on our charts the noted Brooklyn emcee is ready to dish out an Outstanding new tune from his Attack The Block mixtape. Outstanding finds Kweli rocking out to a heavily R&B-inspired number with the backing of fellow New Yorker Ryan Leslie, who on top of providing the song with his silky vocals also drops a noteworthy verse. Leslie is of course known to flip a beat or two, but Canadian beatsmith Boi-1da handle the board work on the sultry Outstanding as he incorporates a combination of sleek drums and seductive strings. Be sure to get your fill of Kweli’s Attack The Block mixtape right here on The DJBooth before the rhymesayer’s Prisoner of Conscious album is released on November 20.

One of the many qualities tracks on Talib's new tape. He and Ryan had a nice chemistry on the record.

This was a really tight collaboration effort by Talib and Ryan Leslie. I like Talib's delivery on this one the best. Nice work by Boi-1da on the beat too... This is 3.5 out of 5...
