Peter Buck - I Am Back to Blow Your Mind Once Again Since R.E.M. disbanded in 2011, we haven't heard much from the band's former members, music-wise.

Talib Kweli - Gravitas Talib Kweli, by himself, may not be the most commercially successful rapper in the game, but he has made his name as one of the most influential.

He wasn't looking for a huge audience for his latest release, either, which was initially released only on his website. Listen: "State of Grace" Listen: "The Wormhole" |
