"Hip-hop star Kweli has been putting up this weekly show since July 2019, and has bagged some big names: B-Real, Common, Chuck D, Estelle, Lil’ Kim, Monie Love and more, plus non-hip-hop people such as Don Cheadle and Gina Yashere. Kweli’s co-presenter, comedian Jasmin Leigh, is a great, warm presence, and their conversations are not afraid to go deep. I loved the most recent episode with Royce Da 5’9” , about how his sobriety has affected his work. He took his first drink with Dr Dre!"

"Do not miss the latest episode of the Talib Kweli People’s Party podcast and interview show. This week he and his producer Jasmin Leigh sit down with El-P, one half of the ridiculously dynamic duo known as Run the Jewels (featuring emcee Killer Mike). It’s easily worth the full 90 minutes of your time. I loved it. Further, there was a ton more history attached this legend than I was even aware, and this is a great primer for hip-hop or RTJ fan that doesn’t know too much more of the history."
