In news sure to electrify hip-hop fans and music lovers Australia-wide, Illusive Entertainment & Frontier Touring are thrilled to announce that Talib Kweli and Scribe will be hitting our shores in October to co-headline shows in Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide, Sydney and Brisbane.

This amazing rap/hip-hop pair will be performing material from their respective new albums, with both Talib Kweli and Scribe each having ascended the lofty heights of solo success.

Talib Kweli has become a solo hit since his days in Black Star with Mos Def in the late 1990s. He was even named by Jay-Z and 50 Cent as one of their favourite rappers – high accolades for the Brooklyn native. Kweli firmly established himself as a tour de force in the world of rap music with his debut album Reflection Eternal in 2000, and has since become both a critically acclaimed artist and music industry stalwart, establishing his own record label Blacksmith Music.

Scribe has likewise enjoyed immense success since he shot to stardom with the release of his debut album The Crusader in 2003. The Crusader spawned a steady stream of hits such as Not Many, Stand Up and Dreaming, and spent over 75 weeks in the ARIA Top 40 charts. The tidal wave of Scribe’s popularity resulted in him being voted Australia’s second favourite rapper, losing out narrowly to Eminem, by Rolling Stone readers.

A veteran of music festivals such as Big Day Out, Splendour in the Grass and the Falls Festival, Scribe’s energetic, crowd-pleasing, roof-raising style will be familiar to Australian audiences. 3D World declared “Scribe certainly has a stage presence and is one artist that is able to straddle the ground between the underground and the commercial ease”!

Supporting these two amazing artists will be experimental hip-hop duo DJ Zeph & Azeem. Straight out of San Francisco, this duo have been steadily building a reputation as one of the most underrated hip-hop outfits in the US, and are currently gaining radio airplay in Australia on Triple J. Described as an infusion between “the sound of retro funk, blazing percussion, dub penetration, soul, dance hall and of course slamming hip hop” (M8), Zeph & Azeem are sure to convert a new legion of fans across the nation.

 

cheers for the confirmation michael.

$73.00 for Kweli and Scribe?





...................

 Exactly.

 Both pretty overrated IMO, but I am sure some will go

It would have been $100 for Kweli, Zeph and Azeem alone (and well worth it too I must say)

but they knew that was too expensive so they put Scribe on the bill to bring the price down a little

I just dong get the Kweli hype at all. Mos Def has fallin off for sure, but Talib would have to be sending him a yearly Hallmark Thank You card

i'm kinda interested to know what you mean by that but i just can't decipher yo sentence

pretty sure he means that he's got mos def to thank for being where he is right now... but doesn't understand why he is as big as he is now anyway.

could be well off though.

i'm not going. way too pricey for me. would have loved to have seen zeph though.

definitely prefer mos def myself, but maja loves talibs stuff... was hoping to go to this but time and funds and other priorities havent allowed it.

Yeah I'm shattered I'm missing this

Me too but the Synx home studio will be happy for the company tonight

anyone go?

Scribe was lame! No one clapped when he finished and he continued on to do an encore anyway, idiot!
Talib was good. Wasn't really that busy in there.

Scribe is totally lame.

 

rolll like dis

I had loads of mateys heading there last night but ticket prices were 70 bucks plus last time i looked so i did the couch option instead and drank myself to sleep 

but how many people would have gone just to see scribe?































not many, if any

 

haha

Talib fuckin killed it! Loved it. Scribe seemed like he was pretty much over to me.

fucking rofl khem!!! awesome!!
