There's rappers...and then there's real MC's...and within that bunch of real MC's is the legendary (you can call him that now) Mos Def. This album was most definitely worth it...and it takes the listener into a more lyrically artistic Mos Def (reminiscent in a lot of ways to the rapper named DOOM, and Mos Def incorporates some of DOOM's encrypted rhyme flow on this album).
The album features collaborations with Slick Rick, Talib Kweli and Georgia Anne Muldrow, as well as production by Mr. Flash and the late J Dilla. The first single off the album is 'Life in Marvelous Times', the second single is 'Quiet Dog', and the third single is 'Casa Bey'. The song 'Casa Bey' was recently made into an official music video that was released via Mos Def's Myspace page. The album cover is taken from Charles Burnett's 1977 film, Killer of Sheep.
Just go and sample the album at a music store near you...and then YOU decide!
