POSTED : January 16, 2012

After 13 years since their first album, Black Star is back in business. Yasiin Bey (aka Mos Def) and Talib Kweli’s album will be out this spring. “We are trying to find out the right mediums to get the songs out,” he told MTV Hive. “We’re really into a Madlib-Dilla thing right now. Anything you hear from us is probably going to be that type of sound.”

Watch their live performance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon playing “You Already Knew”, their first single on the mixtape and “Little Brother”, one among the best Hip Hop song ever recorded.

This last clip shows ?uestlove breaking down how the track “Little Brother” came to be. Thanks to Okayplayer for sharing this great video.

Rest in peace Dilla.
