Idle Warship was a musical duo composed of Brooklyn emcee Talib Kweli and Philadelphia singer Res.[1] Res has appeared on each Talib Kweli album since 2000's Train of Thought. They have also toured together, including on the summer 2005 MGD Flavor 2 Savor mini-tour. They released their debut mixtape, Party Robot, on October 27, 2009 for free.[2] This was originally set for a 2008 release and announced on Talib Kweli's MySpace page in a New Year's blog entry.
Idle Warship has released songs via their MySpace page, including "Industry Diary",[3] "Screamin'" featuring mc chris, "Pull It Out" featuring Dapa Flex, "Fall Back" featuring Chester French, among others.[4][5]
The group released their debut album Habits of the Heart on November 1, 2011.[6]
After Res accused Talib Kweli of sexual misconduct,[7][8][9] their dispute signaled the end of Idle Warship in 2018.[citation needed]
