Talib Kweli Prepares New Album Gutter Rainbows [Upcoming Releases]

Ryan Maxwell • September 21, 2010 • Comments (3)
Hip-Hop star Talib Kweli will be releasing a brand new album titled “Gutter Rainbows” which yet has no official release date. Talib Kweli was speaking to XXL Mag, and stated that J.D Salinger’s novel “The Catcher In The Rye” was the inspiration for the title.
“The character actually says ‘gasoline rainbows’ in the book. I was like, ‘Wow.’ I’ve always wanted to call a song ‘Gutter Rainbows’—just because of the rainbows that you see when the oil and the water mix in the gutter—and do a song based on that. But that reference—him noticing the gasoline rainbows in New York City, and just the character’s love for New York City—are what attracted to me to that phrase”.
I’ll be posting any leaked tracks and further news ahead of the Talib Kweli album ahead of the release. Thanks to Sumit @ TheHipHopChronicle
