Rapper Talib Kweli and producer Hi-Tek teamed up in 2000 as Reflection Eternal for their collaboration album entitled Train of Thought. If you haven't heard it already, cop it now, because it's excellent. Hi-Tek's beats complement with Talib's intricate and intelligent rhyming style seamlessly and consistently throughout the entire record. Hi-Tek also produced a number of tracks on Talib's classic debut collaboration album with Mos Def entitled Black Star, which you definitely should have heard and enjoyed already. If not, cop that as well.
Anyway, Talib and Hi-Tek have teamed up again for a new Reflection Eternal album due out this year, entitled Revolutions Per Minute. In order for you all to become as excited for this as I am, I am including a link for a FREE download of their new mixtape, entitled The RE:Union, mixed by Statik Selektah, an exceptional DJ whose work you should also check out if you're truly into that raw uncut hip-hop. Also included is that video for the album's first single, entitled "Back Again." If you pay attention, you can see that the entire video was done in one take. You can say that again.
