Talib Kweli Recruits Problem & Badd Lucc For New Indie 500 Single "Pay Ya Dues"

Roughly a year ago, we caught up with Pharoahe Monch, who detailed a high-powered collaborative effort with the mighty BK MC,Talib Kweliand North Carolina's finest musical magician 9th Wonder.

Something they like to callIndie 500. Well, good people, it appears the trio is off to the races with the new project, releasing the first single "Pay Ya Dues;" a top-down, ride-out-into-the-sunset type joint, featuring Watts ambassadorBad Luccand Compton's ownProblemrocking over a smooth, soul-smothered chop from Eric G., who fills in for 9th as Jamla's rep on the track. While neither Pharoahe or 9th land on this one, you can be sure the next drop will have the furious trio in full-form, with the project slated for a November 4th release.Hold yourself over with "Pay Ya Dues" below and catch Talib Kweli on the road over the next few months to feel the funk live and direct.
