WNYC's Soundcheck presented Brooklyn-based rapper Talib Kweli live in The Greene Space in advance of his fifth album, Prisoner of Conscious in May 2013. (Watch the full show here: http://bit.ly/YaZZF9)

Both as a solo artist and one-half of the hip-hop duo Black Star (with Yasiin Bey, formerly known as Mos Def), Kweli has become known for his broad-ranging lyrics and rapid-fire delivery throughout his 20-year career. His latest album includes guest appearances from artists like Kendrick Lamar, Miguel, Melanie Fiona and Busta Rhymes.

In addition to a live performance, Soundcheck host John Schaefer joined Kweli on stage for a conversation about the territory between the personal and the political — and about his myriad projects.
