The track comes off the duo’s new album, The Confidence Of Knowing
Talib Kweli and J. Rawls appeared on The Tonight Show to perform “Native Sons” with the help of house band the Roots. The song comes off the pair’s joint LP, The Confidence Of Knowing, out today.
Kweli and Rawls dropped “Native Sons” last month. The song pays homage to the Native Tongues collective, which featured the Jungle Brothers, A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Queen Latifah, Monie Love, Black Sheep, and Chi Ali.
“This one goes out to the legendary Native Tongues crew,” the rappers spit on the track before name-checking several members. “We are witnessing a hip-hop apocalypse/
If you ain’t got them bars, I promise it’s looking ominous.”
