Here’s the first leak off Talib’s upcoming 6th solo album, Prisoner of Conscious slated for a 2012 release. With a mass consciousness awakening manifesting across the World, this is a much needed song — to awaken those still distracted by politricks in our government as well as what the media is portraying and planting into the sheepish minds of those still asleep.

Strong Arm Steady was formed in the shadows of the West Coast’s Death Row Records movement, which at one time, loomed large over much of the region’s talent. Many Los Angeles artists—themselves students and children of Death Row—were becoming frustrated at the gang mentality that colored perceptions of their burgeoning underground. Out of that frustration came resourcefulness and unity, and as unity grew into community, L.A.’s indie scene began to blossom, not in opposition to Death Row, but as an alternative. They are the new generation. They are Strong Arm Steady.
Tracks from Talib Kweli & Hi-Tek’s new album Revolutions Per Minute.
