Amidst the news that Mos Def is retiring his stage name, and the on-again off-again status of their Mos Def and Talib Kweli Are Black Star tour (it is officially cancelled now), it’s been a strange few weeks for fans of the hip hop super duo.

It’s around about the right time for a ray of good news to come in from the camp then, and what could be better than the news that Black Star has new material and we get to hear it tonight?! Well, the fact that it is produced by Madlib makes it better. Kweli confirmed that they will be premiering the new song (name not yet revealed) on tonight’s episode of The Colbert Report:
