Quality (Talib Kweli album)

[2][3] The duo planned to release their second album, but Mos Def was busy working on film The Italian Job.

[23] Three singles were released from the album; "Good to You"/"Put It in the Air", "Waitin' For The DJ"/"Guerilla Monsoon Rap" and "Get By".

In response to this, Kweli and his manager made several copies of the single and sent it to a number of popular radio DJs across New York.

"Get By" received radio airplay in early 2003[21] and charted on the Billboard Hot 100, where it peaked at number 77, becoming Kweli's biggest solo hit.

The remix, featuring Kanye West, Mos Def, Jay Z, and Busta Rhymes, was aired for a short time on New York hip-hop radio, but did not receive an official release.

[24] After the release of Quality, Kweli embarked on a tour in support of the album, where he was accompanied by friend and producer Kanye West as an opening act.
