    Idle Warship is a perfect example of how a whole can become greater than the sum of its parts—and that is saying quite a lot given the musical components of this project. A collaboration between longtime friends and collaborators, hip-hop luminary Talib Kweli and critically acclaimed soulful singer and songwriter Res, Idle Warship was born out of sheer experimentation in the studio. But some of the best things in life happen when least expected. When fans of Talib and Res heard and reacted to some online MP3s of what these two had created during their off-the-cuff sessions, it became clear that that something much bigger was brewing. Since making a huge splash at SXSW in 2009 and completing a successful European tour, Idle Warship made Party Robot (their mixtape with master DJ Mick Boogie and singer/songwriter Graph Nobel) available for free download in 2010. It only left the fans craving more, and now the wait is over!
