JAVOTTI MEDIA PRESENTS- GRAVITAS, THE SECOND SOLO ALBUM FROM TALIB KWELI IN 2013



NEW YORK, NY (DECEMBER 3RD, 2013) - Critically acclaimed hip hop artist Talib Kweli releases the incredibly personal Gravitas on Javotti Media, December 15th, 2013. Gravitas was recorded while Talib was on the road with Macklemore and Ryan Lewis during the Heist tour, and it will be available digital only, solely at Kweli's website www.kweliclub.com. This is an innovative way to connect to fans by selling directly to them as opposed to thru a middle man. Many of today's music fans express interest in supporting the artist they like directly rather than depending on a major corporation to provide them with music. This is a unique opportunity for fans of Talib Kweli's music to do that. The vinyl and CD of Gravitas will be available thru Javotti Media's partnership with Fat Beats on February, 18 2014. This gives those willing to join www.kweliclub.com an opportunity to get the album in digital format two months before it's physical release date.

Gravitas, Talib Kweli's sixth solo album, began to take shape in May, during the weeks following the release of Kweli's fifth solo album, Prisoner of Conscious. Loaded with guests, Prisoner of Conscious was well received and reviewed, and gained Talib many new fans to add to his already large following. However, Kweli soon found himself wanting to record more personal material and really document his journey thru music. When singer Ryan Leslie, who created the platform that Kweli is using to sell Gravitas, approached him with the idea of selling direct to fan, songs that were just rough ideas began to fully form in Kweli's head.

"One of my favorite things about today's hip hop is the honesty," says Kweli. Today's most popular rappers aren't always politically correct or deep, but the best are unflinchingly honest. While my story may be documented, I have never truly told my story thru music. My true fans have heard bits and pieces thru the years, but Gravitas sums up my experience until now."

The new songs reflect a continued determination and drive in Talib Kweli, impressive because of the fact that Prisoner of Conscious was released less than six months ago. Considered one of the top tier lyricist of all time and name dropped in songs by everyone from Jay-Z to 2 Chainz, Talib Kweli has defied the odds and remained relevant while never compromising his art, quite a feat in today's music business. The respect he is given is evident when Raekwon from the Wu Tang Clan drops by to spit on Violations. Talib Kweli has also showcased new artists throughout his storied career, giving breaks to people like Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole long before they were embraced by the mainstream. This streak continues with Brooklyn's own UnderAchievers, who pop up on the Statik Selektah produced New Leaders. The OhNo produced Art Imitates Life features classic lyricism from Kweli, Rah Digga and Black Thought from the legendary Roots, and Austin's guitar prodigy Gary Clark Jr. shows up for Demonology. All of this leads up to Gravitas' final track, Colors of You, featuring Mike Posner and produced by the late, great J Dilla of Slum Village fame. 

Gravitas is available for pre-order right now at www.kweliclub.com. On December 15th, 2013, everyone who purchased it will get a download of the album. Gravitas will only be available at www.kweliclub.com, even when the physical is released on February 18th, 2014.

LYRICS:

  verse  1



another one for the soul, 

another one for the soul

Coz they dont move the way I do 

You dont speak the way I do 

A little money got a nigga amped up

How you think its something that we cant touch 

Delegating in meetings is not enough

Before this whole shit my mind was on a high 

now i gotta get it right 

young n*gga tryna live life 



I been low & I been high  

dark thoughts in the late night 

momma asking if ate right 

right now im just thinking that i hate life 

deep right 

be quiet 

oh its something that i never really speak on

next show we gone

i ain't been ends for few weeks but its all good return  



it ain't lovely out here, but they love me out here 

city on my back man i swear its our year 

Yeah it’s been a minute man i swear its our year 

Been about it 

lived a life of doubt 

now they ask about me 

come in large in amounts 

the boy never been better 

its like everything i did 

every move i made 

made me who i am today 



I let everything go 

you let everything go

now we all out open 

I've been free ever since - take it from me with a pinch .

beat down had a limp, 

but never stopped young n*gga from the east side 

I thought home was a paradise 

Went through the fire and were still alive 



Chorus - 



You ain’t got to always put your life on hold 

you ain’t always got to make your life so difficult

If you ask me I’m just coping

I’m just coping 

I’m just coping 

I’m just coping 

if you ask me I’m just coping 

I’m just coping 

I’m just coping 

Crusin’ & Coastin 

If you ask me I’m just coping 



Verse 2 

Stay patient 

this the hustle 

this the elevation 

Why you making trouble 

Causing complications 

all they talk about is bitches fornicating 

never would i forget the struggle up in the basement 

tryna get a record poppin 

whilst theys chase it 

i aint been the type to go and race them 

whole city with me when im in the space ship 

my place never been vacant 

same shit, place me with greats

 

All they wanna do is see us fall 

and make a fool of ourselves

whilst there pockets get big  

I ain't been bout it 

you wont see drown in, 

a pool full of water when we need to drink  

a pool full of women 

sippin liqour 

being ignorant 

blind to youth 

that was never the truth 



That was never the truth 

Open my eyes and I live through my youth 

And live through my youth 

You just do you 

Only way that we can spark up a fuse 

Only way that I can speak and get loose 

Open my eyes let me live through my youth 

Let me live through the eyes and gimme the juice 



Homecoming/Love Is (Prod. Jay Prince)

It's spring time, so about time for another seasons compilation in the form of "Spring In Jakarta". We got to know Olivier as the guitar player in Oddisee’s live band. Last year he dropped his first EP with Jakarta, „Ain’t cool“ was on this release. Some weeks ago Olivier and Oddisee were hanging out together in Berlin and produced this remix. Oddisee flipped it with some of his signature production and added 16 bars too, giving the original composition a completely new feel. 

As always "Spring In Jakarta" will be a free DLL with free cassette tape copies available from selected retailer. Also be on the lookout for the limited t-shirt + tape combo we did together with the homies from inflammable.com
