Rapper Talib Kweli has inked a one-album deal with Koch, which will on Nov. 22 release his next project, "Right About Now." Led by the singles "Right About Now," the set features guest appearances by Kweli's longtime Black Star colleague Mos Def plus Jean Grae and Papoose, among others...

Keweli remains signed as a solo artist to Warner Bros., with whom his Blacksmith Music imprint is affiliated. "Usually when my music comes out, the people hear where I was a year ago," the artist says. "This project represents where I am right now."

"Right About Now" is the follow-up to last year's "The Beautiful Struggle," Kweli's last album for Rawkus/Geffen. The set debuted at No. 3 on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.

As previously reported, Kweli and Mos Def are currently on the road as part of the Breed Love Odyssey tour, which visits Anaheim, Calif., tonight (Nov. 4). Kweli will also play two solo dates at Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y. (Nov. 17) and Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh (Nov. 18).

Here is the track list for "Right About Now":

"Right About Now"
"Drugs, Basketball & Rap," featuring Planet Asia and Phil The Agony
"Who Got It"
"Fly That Knot"
"Ms. Hill"
"Flash Gordon"

I think this is probably more of a mixtape than an album cause at least 3-4 of those tracks are beautiful struggle leftovers, or tracks that have been released as random 12" singles.
