Description: Black Star – No Fear of Time (CD Reissue 2024)
After over two decades since their initial groundbreaking release, Black Star—a lyrical powerhouse duo composed of Yasiin Bey (formerly Mos Def) and Talib Kweli—relaunches with No Fear of Time, an album that resists the allure of nostalgia and moves forward with fearless advocacy. Initially released digitally in 2022, this eagerly awaited CD reissue finally presents the album in physical form to collectors and fans alike.
Made entirely by sonic sorcerer Madlib, No Fear of Time is a raw, urgent and uncompromising album. Its nine tracks are a masterclass in lyrical sophistication and sample-heavy production. Bey and Kweli exchange bars with new-found purpose, covering all the bases from systemic oppression and spiritual freedom to the condition of hip-hop itself. Madlib’s dusty samples, wayward rhythms and cosmic textures frame the duo’s lyrical artillery without drowning it out.
Among the standout tracks are the introspective “So be it,” the trance-like “Supreme Alchemy,” and “The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing”—a line that encapsules the album’s laser-beam purpose. There are no fillers and no gimmicks—only candor over beats that refuse to compromise.
No Fear of Time is no sequel to their 1998 masterpiece–it’s a statement in itself, a brash leap forward reflecting the times but also moving beyond them. In this CD release, fans can finally possess a tangible part of Black Star’s legacy—a scarce, unaltered document from two of the hip-hop world’s most uncompromising voices.
