Talib Kweli announced on Twitter Sunday evening that he will be going for four albums in two years, with a little help from his friends. Kweli plans to follow up on his prolific 2010, which gave us the second Reflection Eternal album as well as November’s solo joint Gutter Rainbows, with two new albums in the fall.

First up is the long-awaited debut LP of Idle Warship, Kweli’s collaboration with R&B singer Res, due to release in September. Just two months later, though, comes Prisoner of Conscious, a new solo album that Kweli has been tinkering with for years. The new album will feature appearances by Mos Def, Nelly, Jean Grae, Kendrick Lamar, Maino and Curren$y, and production from Hi-Tek, Madlib and more.

With the two albums and a book on the way, Kweli seems to be working at a breakneck pace. Yet something still tells me it’s Mos Def that’s holding up the second Black Star album.
