Talib Kweli Featured In New Video Game

[TuKer Says: Angeles Records is the truth!!]

Lyricist Talib Kweli is on board to play the voice of Trane, the lead character in Atari's new video game, "Marc Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure," Atari, Inc. announced yesterday (Jan. 11).

An urban revolutionary, Trane is an outcast and rebel who wishes to prove his credibility in the tyrannical city of New Radius.

"There is no better artist to help challenge the video game status quo and personify Trane than Talib," Marc Ecko, Executive Creative Director for "Getting Up," said in a statement. "We are excited to be adding his respected talent to our video game."

Ecko, an urban clothing designer and proclaimed ex-graffiti artist, supplies the characters and story line for the video game, which professes to pay tribute to graffiti culture.

With stealth and street fighting skills, game players scale the perilous city as they inform the masses through revolutionary means.

"Because a video game has a hip-hop soundtrack doesn't automatically make it a true representation of urban life," Ecko said. "The urban reality is about making your voice heard."

"Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure" is scheduled for release in September 2005 for PlayStation 2 gaming systems.
