Mixed by Mick Boogie, this project has been one people have been waiting on for a while now. Track listing and download link are below.
Idle Warship – Party Robot (mixtape)
Editor’s note: The Graph Nobel “Fyah” song is so aptly titled… – Hyph
The downside of being able to work from home due to the Seattle snow is that I’ve been firmly planted at the computer for the last 12 hours. So when the homies are about their business and provide perfect descriptions for stuff to post, it makes one happy Hyphen. Take it away fellas:
Follow a night in the life of new supergroup Idle Warship (Talib Kweli + Res + Graph Nobel) as they travel through NYC, hit the studio to record, DJ a set at a club, perform, and generally talk sh*t. You can also preview new songs from the group’s forthcoming mixtape and album. Shot/Edited by Court Dunn for Restless Films. Second camera Andrew Baxter.
Shout to young Tunj for sending this through and peace to the entire Blacksmith fam. As a bonus, Tunj included the song featured heavily in this clip:
Now all that said, minus 10K points for making me hear “Pop Champagne” at the end of the clip. Blech.

A few weeks ago, the big homies Talib Kweli and Corey Smyth stopped by KUBE to make their 4th appearance on Sound Session. It’s always great to meet and interview people for the first time, but it’s even better once you get to know them and your ‘interviews’ just turn in to catching up with old friends. It probably could have been under better circumstances though, cause right before we got up, this happened. It shows you how cool Talib is that despite just finding out about the theft, he still took time for us before trying to find the laptop. Booooooooo @ that “fan” who took Kwa’s MacBook. Shame on you.
Anyway, if you missed any of the previous discussions, you can check ’em out on our podcast page right here.
This time around, we talked all about his current projects, including updates on the next Reflection Eternal album with Hi-Tek, his Idle Warship group with Res & Graph Nobel, and all things Blacksmith. We also discussed what it’s like to operate his own label, how new media has affected his career, a little politics, and more. Be sure to watch it in high-def on the HyphenTV Vimeo page, or if you only want the audio, grab it below:
