After hearing a studio version of their fantastic Madlib-produced track "Fix Up" earlier today (November 25), we're happy to report more news from Black Star. The duo, composed of Talib Kweli and Yasiin Bey (Mos Def), are reportedly at work on an Aretha Franklin-themed mixtape.

Taking a break from their weird, late-in-the-year American version of Thanksgiving, the duo posted another new Black Star track called "You Already Know" on their newly launched website. The song can be streamed below and was produced by Oh No.

The message on the site tells us that "You Already Know" will appear on an upcoming mixtape called Black Star Aretha. No news on when it will drop just yet, but we can almost guarantee it will be worthy of your attention.
