Talib Kweli & Friends At Fat Beats NY (1998, Video)


"In 1998 both L-Fudge and Shabaam Sahdeeq released 12" singles on Rawkus Records. Rawkus had been around for a minute, but it was with this era of releases that they really started making some noise (along with Company Flow, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Sir Menelik, The High & Mighty and others).  Here's footage from the Fat Beats NYC in-store celebrating the release of these two singles. Like most FB in-stores, it was never limited to just the advertised artists. In this clip you'll see L-Fudge, Talib Kweli, Shabaam Sahdeeq, Skam2? and A.L. Skills all performing. Shout out to Max Glazer on the wheels although he's unseen." - via DJ Eclipse. Enjoy this rare footage from Fat Beats in '98 below...
