Damn I'm glad Mos Def came back with a hot new album this year! After a couple of 'not quite there yet' offerings, he is back on absolutely top form.

Its been a while since I heard anything as magical and glee enducing as 'Miss Phat Booty', but on his new album, 'The Ecstatic', there are so many albsolute corkers that I simply have to put the volume up and push the corner sofa back?!

I love most of his new album, namely 'Casa Bay', 'Supermagic' , 'Revelations' and 'Wahid'. It's bloody irresistably intelligently inviting hip hop music from (one of) Brooklyn's finest.

Glad to have you back Mos! Here is a great performance he did on the Letterman show not so long ago. Still can't get over Mos rapping and drumming a beat at the same time?!

Now, altogether now after three... 'simmer down now, simmer down now, simmer down, simmer down, quiet dog bite HARD!!!'
