Mos Def |
One of hip-hop's fastest rising stars, Mos Def's intelligent nice-guy flows have earned him the respect of fans and fellow artists alike. His rhyme style is laid-back but lyrical, and you'll never find him indulging in the playa/mafioso/millionaire fantasies epitomized by current industry trends. He has appeared on numerous comps including Soundbombing 2 , NY State of Rhyme No. 2 , Lyricist Lounge Vol 1, and Superrappin'. He is also in high demand as a collaborator, working with the likes of Co Flow, the Roots, De La, and Q-Tip, to name but a few. In 1998 he teamed up with Talib Kweli for the excellent Black Star LP, followed by his critically acclaimed solo disc, Black On Both Sides (1999). Mos is currently working with a live rock band called Jack Johnson, and flexing his acting skills in feature films such as MTV's Carmen and Spike Lee's Bamboozled.Find Mos Def cds and Mos Def records on Rawkus Records. |
