Description:

A super tag team of TALIB KWELI, one of the most conscious rappers in the modern hip-hop scene, and DIAMOND D, the Bronx giant of D.I.T.C.! Talib Kweli, the rare Brooklyn-born conscious rapper who was active in the late 90's as Reflection Eternal and was a key figure in the rise of Rawkus, one of the leading underground labels in N.Y. at the time, has joined the great hip-hop crew from the Bronx, Diggin' In The Crates (Mos Def (Yasiin Bey) and Hi-Tek), a duo that has been working together since the late 90's. Talib Kweli is releasing a tag-album with legendary producer/rapper Diamond D of Diggin' In The Crates (D.I.T.C.), a great hip-hop crew from the Bronx. As the unit name/title is named after "Gotham", another name for New York City, which is also the origin of the American comic "Batman", the theme of this album is a tribute to NYC, which is the home of both artists.Featuring strong guest appearances by Busta Rhymes, Skyzoo, and others, Talib's precise, technical flow is combined with Diamond beats reminiscent of the Rawkus sound in its heyday to create a deep and tight boom-bap album. A majestic and profound album from a duo of seasoned N.Y. veterans.
