idlewarship Idle Warship | Steady & Black Snake Moan

We are trying to end this year with a bang.  You know the age old bromide, “Finsh Hard.”  Well, let us introduce you to super group, Idle Warship.  The Alternative/Hip-Hop/Reggae Trio consisting of Brooklyn emcee Talib Kweli, Philadelphia singer Res, and Canadian singer/rapper Graph Nobel are a breath of fresh air.

Their first release was the ultra-sexy “Black Snake Moan” (Video Below), which was a good track, but it really didn’t hit me like I wanted it to.  Enter, their latest track, “Steady.”  Which is probably a track that resonates with the group.  It’s a tale about the warnings of fame and how it’s not what it’s cracked up to be.  Built off of the classic “Sunglasses at Night” tune, they warn the listener not to get caught up in the high life with the in crowd, but put up your guard and build yourself a team.  Which is want Idle Warship is.  A team of musicans that have seen the high and lows of the music industry and are taking control of their careers.

Keep an eye (or ear) out for Idle Warship’s mixtape,which should be dropping in 09.  Speaking of 09, we expect this group to make some noise in the upcoming year.
