Black Star - No Fear of Timeis now in physical form for the first time ever!
No Fear of Time finally reunites one of the greatest hip-hop duos of all-time nearly a quarter century after their debut. After a limited digital only release, the album is now available for the first time on vinyl, CD and cassette and will be releasing in record stores everywhere on Friday, November 22nd!
Group members yasiin bey and Talib Kweli, both enormously influential hip hop artists in their own right, first joined forces as Black Star to deliver their iconic 1998 breakout, Mos Def & Talib Kweli Are Black Star, which quickly became one of hip-hop's most revered works and launched both already-rising stars into the stratosphere.
After years spent nurturing their respective solo careers, the duo returned with the Madlib-produced No Fear of Time in 2022. The album was recorded guerrilla-style around the globe in hotels and in dressing rooms at Dave Chappelle’s shows over the course of four years and released exclusively via the podcast platform Luminary.

The album will now for the first time be available on single-LP vinyl, CD, and cassette, along with a limited deluxe double-LP that includes both the main version and the instrumentals, each pressed on 180-gram vinyl in unique color treatments blending opaque white and opaque gold with translucent black ice and a metallic star effect.
This deluxe vinyl edition is limited to 2000 units and features a foil stamped and numbered matte gatefold jacket, two full-color printed record sleeves, an 8-page matte lyric booklet, and an exclusive silver foil laminated heavyweight insert.
Additionally, 300 units of the deluxe vinyl will be available as an Autographed Deluxe Bundle, which will include everything in the deluxe 2xLP vinyl package, with an insert hand-signed by all three artists – yasiin bey, Talib Kweli and Madlib – along with a Black Star flag, button pack and a pair of Black Star slipmats.
An exclusive collection of apparel and accessories is also being offered in conjunction with the announcement. All items are available for pre-order at the link below, with a portion of proceeds going to savethechildren.org benefitting relief efforts in DRC, Sudan, Haiti and Gaza.
