Mos Def was already a hip-hop artist on the rise in the late 90's and early 2000's with his solo albums and even his acting career. He had all the makings of being one of the best hip-hop artists of all time. But the one thing he always wanted to do is make sure he took care of his family.
But even through all of that, the mighty Mos, Now known as "Yasiin Bey", wanted to get his boys involved in the hip-hop scene. Medina Green is his attempt to get them on the scene. Medina Green's second album has all the makings of a great underground hip-hop album, with a little help from Yasiin Bey on it.
The album flows like the old school albums of the 90's, while also keeping to the poetic styles that Brooklyn has had to offer for the longest time in hip-hop. Some tracks, such as "Full Court Press" take everything that is right with hip-hop, the story telling, the good vibe etc. and multiples it by 100.
A must listen if you are a fan of Mos Def and the Brooklyn style of hip-hop!
