Talib Kweli has recruited Rick Ross and Yummy Bingham for his new single and music video, for ‘Heads Up Eyes Open’. With visuals directed by SMITHHOUSE, Kweli’s new track is off his forthcoming Radio Silence project, which drops on November 17th on Kweli’s Javotti Media label.
Both the video and track touch on issues of media misrepresentation, police brutality and spirituality, which should come as no surprise as Kweli has always been one of the more vocal and political artists in rap. And in anticipation of Radio Silence, Talib is hitting the road this month and the next for a number of tour dates throughout the U.S. (dates below).

Modest Mouse brought their indie rock sounds from the Pacific Northwest to the Midwest, as the Isaac Brock-led group brought their 2017 Fall Tour to the Breese Stevens Field in Michigan Madison. From Washington state to Washington Ave., Modest Mouse played a catalog of their biggest hits, B-sides and fan favorites for the Wisconsin crowd, all while delivering a memorable night of live music.
From the very beginning the crowd was engaged as Modest Mouse performed a collection of songs from across their discography. Despite being over two years removed from their last LP, Strangers to Ourselves, and over a decade past the release of their mega-successful single, ‘Float On’, Modest Mouse hasn’t lost a step when it comes to owning the stage, which is to no fan’s surprise.
While Madison’s Breese Stevens Field saw summer concerts this season from artists like Ryan Adams and Wilco, Modest Mouse closed out the outdoor venue’s year on a high note. Performing a different setlist last night than the tour’s previous dates, Modest’s potpourri setlist reached from their newest album to their 1996 debut. Although you can’t always bet on Modest Mouse to perform some of their biggest singles, like ‘Float On’ and ‘Dashboard’, Saturday’s setlist included both and its diversity helped make the show so great.
The entire night was near perfect, despite Issac Brock thinking that he was in Michigan, until his band corrected him. Embarrassed, Brock turned the error into a joke, later acting like he was in Florida, Washington and more. Modest Mouse made up for the error and then some, in part by playing ‘Float On’.
And to put the cherry on top, Modest Mouse ended their performance with a 30-minute encore, adding to the Wisconsin Badger’s football win by giving Madison another reason to celebrate on the chilly Saturday night.

Some of the biggest emerging names in rap & hip-hop took over the Windy City last night, as Adam Torres Concerts’ The Freshmen concert with Cardi B, Young Thug, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, PNB Rock and Young M.A invaded the UIC Pavilion.
From PNB Rock joining A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie (who is celebrating the release of his debut album) on stage, to Cardi B performing her hit single and the biggest song in the world right now, ‘Bodak Yellow’, and of course Thugger’s entertaining headlining set, the entire night was full of highlights from start to finish. If you were a rap fan in the Midwest, there was no better place to be than the University of Chicago-Illinois campus last night, as no fan left disappointed.
What was maybe most impressive about tonight’s lineup is the sheer star power of young talent across the entire cast of artists. Cardi B has become an overnight mega star, and is on her way to becoming the next big thing in rap. A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie is more than on the verge, and don’t be surprised if he continues to blow with his new debut LP. Young Thug is one of the most exciting rappers out of the ATL, with no signs of slowing down. And Young M.A and PNB Rock are two artists that keep the ladies in the crowd wanting more, both with promising careers ahead.
Be sure to take a look at tonight’s lineup a year from today, just to see how tonight’s artists continue to grow.
Check out our photos from last night’s performance below.
