[With a highly-anticipated Highline Ballroom show going down tonight (February 10) in New York City, rap veteran Talib Kweli talks to SOHH about what keeps him fueled, performing in the Big Apple and what’s next for his Javotti Media label.]
I’m inspired not just by newer artists but by a love for music and a desire to feed my family. I’m excited about all of the Javotti releases.
New York is a fickle crowd, righteously so. They’ve seen it all so you have to bring your A-game when being in New York. That it’s my home means nothing, I get more love as an import. But being from New York, I’m always up to the challenge.
I didn’t start Javotti with limits in mind. We want it to be as big as it can possibly be. Our next project is K’Valentine.
