Apparently this one didn’t make the cut for The Ecstatic. As a Mos Def fanatic I find this to be a nice little gem. If this were the industry 10 years ago - a track like this never would of seen the light of day.
In other news the Mos Def & Doom show here in Chicago at the Congress Theater has been postponed until Feb. 13th. Press release below. Regardless it should be an insane show as it will contain the same exact original line-up.
DOOM featuring Mos Def with Mike Relm at Congress Theater RESCHEDULED for SATURDAY FEBRUARY 13th
Due to circumstances beyond our control, the DOOM featuring Mos Def show this Friday must be rescheduled for Saturday February 13th. We were informed that a scheduling conflict resulting from miscommunication between artists’ management would make it impossible for Mos Def to make any of his three MOSDOOM dates which include Toronto, New York and Chicago. As they say, the show must go on…for Chicago just two weeks later, amazingly with the entire original lineup, Saturday February 13th!
ALL TICKETS FOR JANUARY 29TH ARE STILL GOOD FOR THE FEBRUARY 13TH SHOW, SO HANG ON TO THOSE TICKETS!
This track didn’t strike any chords with me but looking at this juicy tracklist I’m sure I will be able to find something to sink my teeth into.

Jay Electronica hops on stage and performs the “it” song of the moment “Exhibit C” at Mos Def’s concert in NY a night or two ago. Diddy up on stage doing the ad-libs is interesting to say the least. Dope to hear this live.
I’m mad late on this but partially because some shitty version was floating around. Anyway here are some visuals for the track “History” off Mos Def’s classic The Ecstatic - featruing Talib Kweli.
If you don’t download this then you don’t like hip-hop. Just look at this line-up. The guest features alone should have you sold. If you don’t know who Reflection Eternal is…do your fucking homework.
Producer/rapper Black Milk is pretty sure his next album titled Album of The Year, well….will be album of the year. This is a damn good start. Production is straight wild.
The album should drop Sping 2010. This is the lead single.
Just Blaze and Jay Electronica dump gallons upon gallons of fuel to the fire by appearing on Toca Tuesdays radio show on Sirius Radio. Just read the above selections and you will be sure to find something you will like. The Reflection Eternal track with Jay, J. Cole and Mos Def? Absolutely disgusting. Classics right here. Can’t wait to check everything when it drops in full CDQ versions.
A new joint from the Grammy nominated Mos Def. No word on where this track will call home but dope nevertheless. Lower quality - perhaps a better one will resurface soon.
Mos Def DJ Semtex Interview (Video) + Lupe Fiasco Interview (Audio)
Part 2 of the Mos Def interview I posted earlier this week. Part 3 on the way soon. Good stuff! Mos gives his opinion on albums of the years, best club joints, producers, films etc. Interesting answers.

Lupe calls in to the radio show and talks about Enemy Of The State mixtape, being an underdog, solar midnight and how that happened, producing his own music, the climb on Mt. Kilimanjaro and being nervous about going to Africa, and more. Part 2 coming in a few days! - Jessie Maguire
Mos Def hit the UK recently, and he passed through my 1xtra radio show on the eve of copping his Grammy Nominations.
Mos talks on:
*His approach to making albums. *That Mos/J Cole/Jay Electronica/Talib Kweli collabo. *The genius of Slick Rick. *Mos Def vs. Hollywood *Turning down a role in Tropic Thunder.
Wow that track sounds like a monster record. Can’t wait to here that. Good interview.
Clipse on Good Morning America + The Black Keys ft. Mos Def & Jim Jones - Ain’t Nothing Like You (Hoochie Coo) (Live on Letterman)
The Clipse get reviewed on Good Morning America. You don’t see this everyday. Til The Casket Drops in stores now.

Caught this live last night. Pretty dope. The Black Keys plan alongside Jim Jones and Mos Def on Lettermen. Where can I get that Blakroc varsity jacket?
I pretty much geek out to anything Mos Def related. The Ecstatic is definitely in my top 5 albums of the years. Some simple yet effective visuals for one of the highlight tracks off the album - here is is the official video for “Supermagic.”
Now I just need a video for “Auditorium” and my life is complete.
UCB - Pat Your Weave ft. Wale + BlakRoc - Ain’t Nothing Like You (Hoochie Coo) ft. Mos Def & Jim Jones (Video)
UCB gets down with Wale on this DC anthem titled “Pat Your Weave.” This track is a party on its own. *adds to party playlist*

I’m actually really disappointed in myself that I haven’t been posting every single thing related to this project but I have been slacking. BlakRoc is a project with indie rock band The Black Keys in which they enlist a hip hop army for a variety of tracks. The album features Raekwon, Mos Def, Q-Tip, RZA, Ludacris, Pharoahe Monch, NOE, Nicole Wray, Billy Danze and Ol’ Dirty Bastard.
This track is titled “Ain’t Nothing Like You (Hoochie Coo)” and features Mos Def and Jim Jones.
