Mos Def Checking in for Fourth Quarter?
Monday, November 27, 2006 By: Michael Ivey
Critically lauded emcee/actor Mos Def and Geffen Records may not make fans wait another five years for his third LP, as they did after 'Black on Both Sides (1999)' (his sophomore piece 'The New Danger' came in 2004.)
'Tru3 Magic' reportedly drops in December, though the album was already moved from its' original date of September 19 and has received little to no visible promotion. Mos Def AKA Dante Smith has been busy acting, but over the last few months has managed to release "The Undeniable" and "Sun, Moon, & The Stars." Titles such as "There Is A Way" , "The Magical Booty", "Chewy Booty Bounce" and "Boogie Man Theme Music" are reportedly confirmed to appear on 'Tru3 Magic.' Mos Def reportedly lays his varied vocal styles over tracks by The Neptunes, Rich Harrison, 9th Wonder, 88 Keys, Minnesota, Kanye West, and RJD2.
Within the past year Mos Def has appeared in the films '16 Blocks,' 'Talladega Nights,' 'Bobby,' 'Dream Girls (December 25)', and 'Dave Chappelle's Block Party.' He was arrested August 31 at the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards for performing "Katrina Clap," his scathing critique of the Bush Administrations unresponsiveness in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, outside without a permit. NYPD officers reportedly were shown the permit by members of the emcee's camp and allowed the show to continue until another group of officers insisted the performance end. Mos Def was arrested and released the following morning.
