看過電影《偷天換日》以及《銀河系漫遊指南》的朋友們，也許會對裏面的一個黑人演員有些印象，出生於紐約布魯克林的Mos Def不僅僅是一位演員，更是一位地下說唱樂偶像人物。


自1996年率先於「De La Soul」與「Bush Babbes」等團體中發聲，1997年Mos Def與Talib Kweli以及DJ Hi-Tek組成「Black Star」，並發行大受歡迎的同名專輯。及後之後分別推出了單飛作品「Black On Both Sides」與「The New Danger」，獨樹一格的混音技巧與深具巧思的才情，獲得各界一致好評，成為當代最傑出的說唱歌手之一。這張「The Ecstatic」是他的第四張個人專輯，是他加盟新唱片公司Downtown Records的處女作，獲Pitchfork 8/10高評。


The Ecstatic is the fourth solo album from New York MC, Mos Def. The album is slated for a release on June 09, 2009.
