Two days ago the new Mos Def record "The Ecstatic" was released and I was quite looking forward to that for some time already. Mos Def(initely), the boogieman, always got me moving, got me thinking. "Black on both sides", "The New Danger" and the legendary "Blackstar" record/project with Talib Kweli were both lyric and music wise classic records. Kicking it, still kicking it. Then "True Magic" came out and was quite disappointing. It was somehow an obvious contractual performance to finish the contract with Geffen. Both parties didn't care to much, the record was uninspired and there was just no promotion or press work.
Now Mos is back, back on track, back with fresh inspiring tracks, back on an indie, Downtown Records! Defnitely check the Myspace for loads of infos concerning "The Ecstatic", make your own judgement and give it a try! Plus, you can get the full record for $3,99 from Myspace directly, nice move!
