From what I've heard off the new album, Mos Def is back to his rapping roots. His beat choice reminds me of DOOM for some reason. But i think mos def has been on point lately, atleast in his collaborations, with the roots, and with stephen marley. Also i saw him in concert a couple weeks ago and he killed it. absolutely killed it new songs and old. Needless to say i'm ready for the new album
