Audio: Black Star “Fix Up (prod. Madlib)”

Happy Black Star Friday, y’all. If you’ve got some purchases to make today, look no further than iTunes and cop the gift that keeps on giving, this new Madlib produced Black Star single, “Fix Up.” You heard them perform it on The Colbert Report, and now via Talib Kweli and Mos Def Yasiin Bey‘s new site, Black Star Hub, you can cop their latest single. Enjoy this for now, and stay tuned, Kweli suggests another new Black Star jawn could be dropping momentarily (off their “top secret Aretha Franklin mixtape”). New Black Star LP coming in 2012…. fix up, look sharp, elevate.

Talib seems to be at his best, when he’s rhyming with Mos. Pure Dopeness!!!

I really love this song, but why does the recording sound so open?

With this song and the new Freddie Gibbs stuff Madlib’s beats have never been better. Too good.

  I feel like OH NO gives us what we want but Madlib delivers something we didn’t know we ever wanted and it sounds dope. They are both awesome.

I bang with this one… but would have liked a better sounding final mix. No diss just my humble opinion. I need that banger in the house in and car…
