Today he joined Zane Lowe on Beats 1 to premiere the latest single from the album, "Traveling Light," featuring Anderson .Paak and a production from Kaytranada. In the accompanying discussion, Kweli reveals just how he met the "Lite Weight" collaborators, and how he's basically been stockpiling unreleased beats from Madlib and the late J Dilla in his inbox for years on end. Before he gets there, Kweli recounts meeting President Obama in the White House and his eternal reverence for the man over his former position.
