Mos Def - Casa Bey
Don’t know why they‘re calling the album “Casa Bey” now, but here’s the latest leak off The Ecstatic which drops on June 6th.
Mos Def - Casa Bey: a song based on a sample of Banda Black Rio’s “Casa Forte” with Mos doing his mile-a-minute word dance over top. The story behind the beat has it that on a recent trip to South America, Mos linked up with well-known Brazilian rapper MV Bill, who gave him a tape with “Casa Forte” on it. Bowled over by the track, when Mos came home, he turned to DJ Preservation and Dante Smith to (barely) cut it up into a beat, forming the instrumental.
Hit the jump to see Mos Def live at the Cape Town Jazz Fest:
MOS DEF’s Encore performance at Cape Town Jazz Fest: Mos intros with Coltrane’s “Love Supreme” into an unreleased song “M.D. (Doctor)” featuring David Axelrod’s “Holy Thursday” played live by The RCDC Experiment (Robert Glasper, Chris Dave, Derrick Hodge, Casey Benjamin)

The story line of that flick looks suspect to me.You might fuck with the dudes in the cast so hard that you can overlook that.We’ll see.

mos flow on the live version of this was much better. he sounded on top of the crazy-busy instrumental more so, but here he’s more in the background taking up space.
