Mos Def to release New Album “The Ecstatic”
The multi talented Mos Def is giving us something we can feel in his latest and greatest album “The Ecstatic” and with so much happening in the last three years since his last album, this is sure to be off the chain!
Mos debuted two new tracks off of The Ecstatic, courtesy of his Myspace page (www.myspace.com/mosdef): the Mr. Flash produced “Life In Marvelous Times,” and “Quiet Dog Bite Hard,” produced by Preservation.”
Both songs are available for download via iTunes and RCRD LBL (http://rcrdlbl.com/).
The new LP will also mark the 10 year anniversary of the Brooklynite’s celebrated debut album, Black On Both Sides.That project spawned the popular singles “Ms. Fat Booty” and “Umi Says.”
Mos’ last album, 2006’s True Magic, was released with no promotion or CD cover per the rapper’s request.
Currently, Mos Def is diligently formalizing an official U.S. tour, along with a finalized tracklisting for the new LP.
The Ecstatic is rumored to feature additional production from Madlib, Oh No, Chad Hugo, J Dilla, and Kanye West.
At recent shows, Mos Def has also performed tracks slated to feature Slick Rick (“Auditorium”) and Talib Kweli (“History”).
At press time, The Ecstatic is scheduled for release on June 30.
