We said it was coming… and here it finally is.  Mos Def live @ Governor’s Island from The Ecstatic tour a few weeks ago.  I cant begin to count how many times I’ve seen Mos live, whether its backed by Robert Glasper and friends or with his double-DJ set up, but this tour was a bit unique for Dante.  He introduced a modified drumkit into the mix and flexed his talents by drumming while rapping/singing on many of the songs, which was really dope.  Of the shows sans his band that I’ve seen, this was hands down the best.  But dont take my word for it, check out our exclusive, high quality audio from the set (including his fantastic cover of the late Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean”)
