Regarded as one of the most insightful artists of our time, musician, activist and actor Mos Def has captured the attention of critics and audiences alike with a celebrated body of work that has crossed all artistic genres - from music to the Broadway stage, film and television.
In 1996, Mos Def and Talib Kweli formed Black Star, whose debut release would become one of the most critically acclaimed hip-hop albums of a generation. The following year Mos released his solo debut, Black On Both Sides, which was certified gold. In 2004 came The New Danger, which received a Grammy nomination for its first single, “Sex, Love and Money”. Mos Def released True Magic in late 2006, which brought the artist another GRAMMY nomination for the album’s first single “Undeniable.”
