Talib Kweli and 9th Wonder have long played to similar audiences. The Brooklyn MC and the North Carolina producer have managed to stay afloat in a time when college radio and Fat Beats are long-gone and some of their peers have failed to stay above water. So it's only right that the veterans would team up for a full-length project. Indie 500 drops Nov. 6, and according to the tracklist released today (Oct. 7), it will feature guest turns and production from some of the finest independent artists in the world. The Rolodex runs from South Central to South Minneapolis to Monch's war bunker, which should be more than enough reason to cop.
