Talib Kweli continues his reign as New York’s chief street prophet on his third album, Eardrum, assembling an all-star team of beatmakers including Kanye West and Madlib to help bolster his socially conscious life lessons. On Terrace Martin and Battlecat’s fresh and soulful production “Give ‘Em Hell”, Kweli questions the infallibility of religious teachings, but he’s also got a more lascivious side waiting to come out, too—see the steamy seduction jam “Hot Thing”, on which he serenades his girl with some sultry funk.
