Whether y'all realize it or not, Talib Kweli kind of low-key dropped one of the year's strongest hip-hop albums to date with Gutter Rainbows. It's not necessarily his best work, but the record is undeniably consistent. A big reason for that is the Brooklyn MC sounds confident throughout, particularly on tracks like "Mr. International." It's a heavily autobiographical track that serves as both a thank-you to his fans and a means of showcasing just how much he has accomplished over the years. As the song's video displays, one of his bigger accomplishments is the chance to travel the globe. Here, he takes us all over London, where he receives testimonials from fans, hangs with the locals, and enjoys the scenery.
