Mr. Eardrum himself, Talib Kweli, will be headlining the Dare 2 Dream benefit concert at the House of Blues, Chicago on Saturday, May 2 with proceeds going to Working in the Schools (WITS), a non-profit organization that increases the reading proficiency and learning capacity of low-income and minority students in the Chicago Public Schools. The first show starts at 6:00pm and the second at 11:00pm.

Looks like Kweli is giving back in a very tangible way. Just another reason why Talib is in a class of his own.
