Hip-hop artist Talib Kweli was one of the first musicians to get into Turntable.fm, the still-in-beta service that lets users spin tunes in avatar-filled chatrooms. Now he has his very own avatar -- and Turntable's first verified account.

Turntable.fm posted a video of Kweli at the startup's office, as well as pictures of his cap-wearing avatar.
We can see more musicians getting their own avatars; the site is becoming an increasingly popular venue in which to premiere tracks. (Paste magazine has been partnering with musicians to drop albums, and Ra Ra Riot's Mathieu Santos showcased his solo project on the site, to name a few converts.) Lady Gaga and Kanye West are also rumored to have invested in TT.fm.
