Dub Kweli is a mashup album of Talib Kweli and various classic reggae samples that was mixed and produced by New York producer Max Tannone.

[5] On August 10, 2010, via his Twitter, Tannone confirmed a sequel to the album Mos Dub would be released,[6] but did not specify any details regarding it.

Nine days later, he announced that he would release the album on September 1, or sooner if the Jaydiohead Facebook page fan count had reached 10,000.

[10] In the same vein as Mos Dub, Dub Kweli has been described as being an album well fit for summertime listening by New York Magazine,[11] as "Kweli's rhymes work well with the laid-back reggae backbeats.

"[13] Adam Horovitz, also known as Ad-Rock of the Beastie Boys, voiced his support of the album in his personal blog.
