Mos Def's fourth solo album now has an official release date (yes, another one). The new LP called The Ecstatic is set to hit the streets on June 9th. I will be anxiously waiting to cop and praying to the Lord that it does not get pushed back further. I need some new Boogie Man material cot dammit! Below is the alleged album art for the LP, it's a still film from Charles Burnett's movie "Killer of Sheep" for all you film afficionados.
Listen to a pre-released track from the album, it's called Life in Marvelous Times:Life in Marvelous Times - Mos Def
In other news, Mos Def has been known to dip his toes into fashion a little bit and has recently collaborated with streetwear brand Undercrown to bring to the masses a Summer/Spring collection of fresh garments. Preview the collection below:

Sorry that today's Hip Hop Current Events all revolve around one man, but Mos Def is in the forefront of everything right now from fashion, music, and film. Mad talented individual. Plus, Kingalings already covered Asher Roth who seems to be creating a buzz as of late. But, I don't know how I feel about him yet.
Peace, love and understanding,
