Joining G.O.O.D. music with the likes of Kid Cudi, Big Sean, Consequence, GLC, Mr. Hudson, and the recently added Pusha T of Clipse, Mos Def finally gets to be in the music family that he needs to be in.
According to a new XXL interview with Kanye West:
“Just as Kanye returned to his roots to scoop up Common, he recently recruited his buddy Brooklyn rapper/singer/actor Mos Def into the GOOD Music fold. Long regarded as a formidable talent by underground devotees and mainstream fans alike, Mos appeared on “Two Words” (from Kanye’s 2005 The College Dropout) and “Drunk and Hot Girls” (from KW’s 2007 Graduation). Since his 1999 solo debut, Black on Both Sides, Mos has increasingly been pushed — whether by generational choices or self-exile — to the fringes of indie, alternative hip hop. Maybe it will take Kanye to reign him in.”
