Human Nature (Michael Jackson Cover) Live – Mos Def & The Watermelon Syndicate

If it’s live audio in ridiculous quality, chances are ItsAllTheWayLive had something to do with it. Mos Def recently took the stage at the Newport Jazz Festival, backed by his band of Chris “Daddy” Dave, Robert Glasper, Casey Benjamin, Derrick Hodge, a 5-piece strings section and a trio of horns which make The Watermelon Syndicate.

Sirens In The Distance (Ft. Mos Def) – A-Alikes

The mixtape (click to download) has been composed so vivid that it plays as a true-life movie in the making. They touch on topics that address everything from self-preservation to US economics. Controversy still surrounds the NY based rap group, A-Alikes, ever since they openly admitted to the FCC about infiltrating several radio stations across the US just last month with a special uncensored message. DJ Victorious seamlessly incorporated excerpt of these recordings into the project. Raye 6, I.G. and Afayah, Checkmate, Tahir, DJ Butta, and even Kanye West offered their talent to this latest release.

… for a track called Magnetic Arts off of DJ Honda’s upcoming album IV. A classic was produced last time the two got together, sounds like we got another one.

Video: Mos Def Interview w/ Angie Martinez

Mos speaks on the ridiculous battle that my partner in crime posted about in one of his (very few) posts (shots fired, sorry bruther) Mos Def wants to recruit Black Thought, DOOM, Jay Electronica and Nas for his team against Jay-Z or Kanye along with any other MCs of their choice in New Orleans in December. I would really like to see this go down.

An H2G Mos Def Post

The dude is on Fire as of late and his latest effort is a problem so I decieded to pack all the Mos Def news into one post.

A little while ago Mos was wildin’ in the streets talking he can out (basically) any rapper in a battle. Well it seems it was more then just ranting on a recent interview with Angie over at hot he laid out his terms.

He explains he wants this to happen in New Orleans Dec 30-31 for charity:

2 Marching Bands (Morgan State vs. Grambling)

2 DJs (Kid Capri vs Biz Markie)

2 Breaker Crew (Korea vs. France)

2 Battles of The Beats (Kanye vs Swizz)

5 Man Rap Team Battle

Captain: Mos Def & his partners: Black Thought, MF Doom, Jay Electronica and Nas

Vs.

Captain: Jay-Z or Kanye and either one’s four.

For rap supremacy!

10 Million Pot. 5 Mil To Charity.

The Mighty Mos Def: The Underground Album

So incase you didn’t know (like Rocsi…) Mos Def will be dropping his album The Ecstatic tommorrow so in light of that, the homies over @ RubyHornet decided to drop a bootleg album chalk full of dope Mighty Mos material, check what they had to say…

… My daily trips to Dr. Wax always included a stop at the Mos Def section hoping to see something new, rare, or unreleased. One such trip turned up profitable, as I came across The Underground Album, which at the time I thought was some crazy limited release or something in my excitement. Obviously, it’s more of a collection of tracks that someone put together, ran off with their CD burner and took to mom and pop stores as an official bootleg. Anyway, the tracks are still dope, and in honor of the new release we offer up The Mighty Mos Def: The Underground Album

Download x Tracklist after the jump…

I find this really hard to believe, but Mos did it. First off Mos kicks a dope freestyle (off the top, mind you) to a classic GZA instrumental, Liquid Swords, and has a little interview afterwards… smh @ Rocsi not even knowing when Mos’ album drops and smh @ the fact that more than half the people in there probably didn’t even know that GZA beat…

Well, that was quick. Visuals added to the most recent leak off of Mos Def’s The Ecstatic less than a week later. I went back a listened to Mos & Kweli’s Blackstar recently, and it’s got my expectations for the album high, now I won’t be suprised if they’re dashed but with everything thats been dropping from Dante, I’d say that my hopes are still in tact…

Video: Mos Def = A Fan Of DOOM

I actually laughed out loud when I saw this. Culture Capture Champs catch up with Mos Def during an Ecstatic studio session and Mos goes IN on some DOOM shit, hahah. You can tell dude is a real fan, as everyone should be because DOOM is way iller than he gets credit for. Born Like This & The Ecstatic, two albums to REALLLY look forward to. Btw, I agree w/ Mos 1000000% on the DOOM vs Wayne comment.
