Talib Kweli Explains A Gutter Rainbow

A rainbow is created when the sun shines on droplets of moisture in the atmosphere. How are Gutter Rainbows created?

Gutter Rainbows are created because light waves that travel at different distances before being reflected create a spectrum of color when mixed together. Oil in the street is spread at different levels of thickness, so when the sun hits it and reflect off it, we see different colors. It’s a beautiful metaphor for the hood.

Album due out for digital release on January 25th.
