Black Star Announces Physical Release of “No Fear of Time” Album on Vinyl and CD
Black Star fans rejoice as the iconic hip-hop duo announces the physical release of their highly anticipated 2022 sophomore album, No Fear of Time. Available on vinyl and CD for the first time ever, the album will be released on November 22nd via Rhymesayers Entertainment.
Rhymesayers CEO Siddiq Sayers expressed his excitement about the release, stating, “The initial release of this album in itself was an artistic statement. To be bold enough to bring this highly anticipated album to fans in a non-traditional way that centers the art and artist first is exactly what artistic independence is about.”
No Fear of Time marks the reunion of yasiin bey and Talib Kweli, who first joined forces as Black Star in 1998 with their breakout album, Mos Def & Talib Kweli Are Black Star. After years of solo careers, the duo returned with the Madlib-produced album, recorded guerrilla-style around the globe.
The album features standout tracks like “So Be It” and “o.G.,” with an official video for the former and a lyric video for the latter. The physical release will include single-LP vinyl, CD, and cassette versions, as well as a limited deluxe double-LP edition with exclusive color treatments and packaging.
For die-hard fans, a premium bundle will be available, including a hand-signed insert by yasiin bey, Talib Kweli, and Madlib, along with a No Fear of Time t-shirt and Black Star slipmats. With only 2000 units of the deluxe vinyl edition available, fans are encouraged to pre-order now at blackstarkeepshining.com to secure their copy of this highly anticipated release.
