True Magic

Mos Def has proven he is truly the renaissance artist of the 21st century by using his multiple talents to achieve success not only in music but also crossing over into Film (16 Blocks, The Italian Job, Monster's Ball), Television (`Def Poetry Jam,' `Chappelle's Show,' `Something the Lord Made'), and even reaching critical acclaim on Broadway (`Top Dog Underdog'). Mos Def returns with his third album, True Magic, and uses his artistry to speak about the subject of hip hop, the feeding frenzy it generates and questions what its success has created.
