MOS DEF

The Ecstatic

(Downtown)

After 2006's somewhat tepid though promising True Magic (Geffen), Mos drops the best hip-hop album of 2009 thus far. Named after Victor Lavalle's novel, with cover art from Charles Burnett's Killer Of Sheep, this is a gem that I just can't stop playing — especially "Priority" and "No Hay Nada Mas"

Mos Def, "Quiet Dog" Live
