Idle Warship Feat. Res & Talib Kweli at WCL Jan. 19

An eclectic mix of smooth, silky vocals and nimble rhymes will be bringing a different type of songwriter(s) to World Café Live tonight. Hometown homegirl Res will be taking the stage this evening with legendary Brooklyn emcee Talib Kweli as Idle Warship. The duo has teamed-up numerous times over the past decade, but they finally have an official full-length release entitled Habits of the Heart which came out in November last year. They also have plenty of each other’s material that may be part of their arsenal for the evening. Res has been working on a new album, tentatively called Reset, with her How I Do producer Doc McKinney so this should be a good chance to bring her back into the spotlight after her unfortunate run-in with the major label world. Wold Café Live, 3025 Walnut St., 8pm, $25 – $48, All Ages – H.M. Kauffman
