Despite my love for Mos Def, I have never once seen him live. I've heard mixed reviews of his live performances, although I have always loved what I have heard, this being one such example. It's no matter since my love for his style remains unwavering. Likewise with this clip of "Taxi" a track featuring Mos from Ski Beatz's (see: Jay-Z's Reasonable Doubt and Camp Lo's Uptown Saturday Night) upcoming album. Mos manages to sound relaxed yet incredibly serious on this track, some of which was recorded live as you can see in the video, and from what I see so far, I'm loving it. Wondering why Damon Dash is in the video? This video is but one offering being unveiled weekly as part of Creative Control, a collaboration between himself and directing duo Coodie & Chike (see: Kanye West's "Through The Wire" and others). See how we put you onto the hot new ish? No worries. You're always welcome.
