I've been buggin' out ever since I heard this version of Lightworks with Q-Tip and Talib Kweli conveniently titled, Lightworking. One of my favorite beats off Dilla's Donuts LP, this serves as another testament that J Dilla's music will live forever. Add this to one of many instrumentals on Donuts that have been re-released with vocals from some of the industry's finest.
The Abstract steps into this one like a certified pro, compliments the track like only a true veteran could. He just has a way of placing his rhymes around this absolutely hype beat. Talib's flow is alright on this one, but I think he sounded better on Testify with Styles P.
Speaking of Lightworks, you can expect an additional version to surface, with MF Doom laying down a verse (or several). I'm not going to expand on the whole lip sync and no shows aspect of what's been going down with him, but there is also a rumor of hospitals and heart conditions--and that's no joke.
This version (and I believe Doom's re-rub) will be on Peanut Butter Wolf's forthcoming compilation for NBA 2k8, B-Ball Zombie War, out October 2nd. Styles P's Time Is Money is out now and available at most retailers.
Large large, huge ups to the great folks at AttorneySt.

Styles P feat Talib Kweli - Testify
I'm not done for today.
I got another for y'all, not right now right now, but later later.
