Talib Kweli & DJ Z-Trip - Attack The Block (Mixtape Review)

• 4.1 Community Rating
• 12 Rated the Album
• 6 Gave it a 5/5

A mixture of fun and freedom fighter since the late ’90s, Talib Kweli has mastered the art of career survival in a fickle game that often looks past the deserving. While key aspects to his longevity have been a knack for entertainment and strong beat selection, he has shouldered criticisms of betraying his core with questionable collaborations that have broadened his base. With anticipation steady building for the forthcoming Prisoner Of Conscious LP, Kweli has given listeners an extensive appetizer with the free of charge Attack The Block .

Assisted by the turntable exercises of DJ Z-Trip , Talib Kweli’s vibrant energy combines forces with a laundry list of guests from household names to rising sensations, a versatility that rarely compromises his music. Mindful of his grassroots beginnings, Talib’s streak with the Strange Fruit Project’s S1 extends to work with the producer’s son VohnBeatz and understudy J Rhodes respectively on the boards for “Letter To The Government” and “Congregation” (co-starring Ab-Soul and Black Thought ). Faithful to the underground element formerly associated with his craft, the veteran gives light to John Forte , Skyzoo , Posdnuous and Fashawn with “That’s Enough” and demonstrates his always growing range exchanging romantic Rap alongside Ryan Leslie on “Outstanding.”

Truly pleasant surprises come as the more prolific half of Black Star matches wits with Mac Miller for “Earning Potential,” aligns himself with the contrasting tough style of Black Hippy’s Jay Rock on “The Corner,” and miraculously pulls a clean verse free of vulgarity out of Lil Wayne on “Celebrate.” These meetings on middle ground display flexibility previously thought unfathomable, testament to Kweli’s dedication to progressing the culture. Though slight drawbacks come from the spin on Tyga’s recent ratchet hits with “Make It Classy,” the avant-garde Das Racist on “I Like It” and an outdated Greg Nice spot on the Big Apple tribute “NY Shining,” Attack The Block mostly benefits as a well-rounded and concise effort. Talib Kweli continues establishing his brand as one bridging the gaps between past and present while also acting as a medium finding chemistry with glamorous and lesser heard emcees alike. If able to excuse the orchestrated business moves behind a few of his creative decisions, Hip Hop fans from all walks of life can find enjoyment in this star-studded effort.

DX Consensus: “Free Album” (the highest possible praise for a mixtape)

Z-Trip is often referred to as a young Rick Rubin. His roots are based in Hip Hop, but he covers and loves all music styles. Considered by many as the godfather of mash-ups, his style of mixing and producing reaches way beyond that. Z-Trip received the award for America’s Best DJ and still remains on the top 10 lists year after year. He has collaborated with some of the very best to ever do it: Nas, Bassnectar, Public Enemy, DJ Shadow, Rakim, Shepard Fairey, Talib Kweli and many others.

As a performer, Z-Trip is one of the very few able to play traditional festivals like Coachella, Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, SXSW and Australia’s Big Day Out, as well as the EDM circuit. His Electric Daisy Carnival and Electric Zoo sets were both festival highlights.

Z-Trip’s artist debut album “Shifting Gears” received 4 stars in Rolling Stone. His subsequent releases were also given high praise. As a producer & composer,  he’s worked on many video game sountracks including the EA Sports “Madden” series, 2K Sports “All Pro” and  Activision’s “DJ Hero” series. He is also a featured avatar in the game alongside Daft Punk, Tiesto, Grandmaster Flash and Deadmau5.

Z-Trip also remixed tracks for Nirvana, The Beastie Boys, Dead Weather and The Jackson 5 to name a few. Most recently, he collaborated with Lee Scratch Perry to rework Bob Marley’s classic “Punky Reggae Party” and with Brillz for Jay Z’s hit “Dirt Off Your Shoulder”.

No stranger to TV, Z-Trip performed alongside LL Cool J, Chuck D, Tom Morello and Travis Barker closing out the 2013 Grammy Awards. He has also appeared on Jimmy Fallon, Carson Daly and Jimmy Kimmel Live.

Z-Trip’s work with film is equally diverse, having scored music for the documentaries “Infamy”, “Scratch All The Way Live” and “Bob Marley: Legend remixed”. His music and scoring have also been featured in the movies “Battle of the Year”, “Warrior” and “Small Soldiers”. Most recently Z-Trip was the music supervisor and composer on the Documentary “La Bare” directed by Joe Manganiello.
