Even as he ventures into uncharted territory, Mos keeps one foot firmly planted in his hip-hop past. While the band’s amalgamation of heavy metal, blues, and funk is sharply different from his old style, the music roils with all the dark energy you would expect from a group of superior talent. “Freaky Black Greetings” and “The Easy Spell” are among the tracks that feature Black Jack Johnson, Mos Def’s aggregate backing band featuring members of Living Colour, Bad Brains, and Funkadelic. Like his peers Andre 3000 and Common, Mos Def has created an album that intends to transcend rap and incorporate several decades of African-American music.
