       *Talib Kweli's Blacksmith Music imprint has parted ways with Warner Bros. Records following a nearly three-year relationship, reports Allhiphop.com.      

       "My label Blacksmith is no longer distributed by Warner Brothers, which means they will not put out Blacksmith future projects,” Kweli told AllHipHop.com. “I still have a deal to put out Talib Kweli and Reflection Eternal thru Blacksmith/WBR."

       Blacksmith Music had a roster that included Jean Grae, Strong Arm Steady and Guyanese/Canadian import Anjulie, the label's lone non hip-hop act. Since its launch, the label has released a compilation album entitled "Blacksmith: The Movement," collaborative projects between Kweli and Madlib, and Jean Grae’s "Jeanius."       

       The label's 2008 release schedule included a new album by Strong Arm Steady, entitled "Arms & Hammers" and "Party Robot," the debut album by Idle Warship, Kweli’s new group with singer Res and Canadian singer/rapper Graph Nobel.       

       Kweli’s fourth solo album, "Prisoner of Consciousness" and Reflection Eternal’s "Train of Thought II" were also scheduled for 2008 releases, according to allhiphop.com.
