This Album is dedicated to the City of Dreams. The Capital of the World. The Big Apple. The city so nice, they named it twice. GOTHAM.
Coming back with his first album in five years, legendary rapper Talib Kweli shows his pen game is sharper than ever on the 36-minute lyrical exercise of Gotham. From start to finish, the Black Star member uses his tenacious delivery and cold bars to assert his dominance and show he can still hold his own with about anyone in the game. With a score handled by producer Diamond D, Kweli is accompanied by a score that perfectly embodies classic New York hip hop but thrives by modernizing age-old traditions.
With this pairing understanding their each and every strength, the two allow themselves to do so much lyrically and sonically. From Diamond D’s synth and string-heavy instrumentals to the pen game of Kweli, which gets more substant and socially aware at given moments, the two both show their range as all-around threats.
