Idle Warship–the group composed of Talib Kweli, Res and Graph Nobel–is giving away its debut mixtape, Party Robot. Produced by Mick Boogie (Kidz in the Hall), the group has been releasing singles since 2008 and working together for much longer (Res has appeared on several of Talib’s albums). No word on any live shows (New Yorkers can catch them at Southpaw November 28), but we’re just happy to see Res in action again. A word from the group:
“Idle Warship welcomes you to our first full length offering, Party Robot. This started out as a path to musical freedom. When we established Idle Warship, we did it for us. Now that we are giving you this music, Idle Warship no longer belongs to us, it belongs to the world. We don’t believe in labels for music. Labels may stop you from hearing something before you listen to it. We appreciate those who have taken this journey with us without judgment and enjoyed the ride. To everyone who purchased our music on iTunes and anyone who has bought a ticket to an Idle Warship show, this is for you. All my party robots stand up!“
