The following message showed up in my junk mail in the week hours of the morning:
“Hey! This is Max Tannone, the guy who made the Jaydiohead (Jay-Z & Radiohead) remix album. I wanted to share my new project with your site! It’s called Mos Dub, and is a remix of Mos Def and classic dub reggae tracks. I just finished it a few minutes ago!! You can listen/download here: www.mosdub.com http://www.mosdub.com. I hope you enjoy it, and if you get a chance, let me know what you think…”
Good thing I checked it, cause this is a project I would be kicking myself for missing. As he says above, Mos Dub combines Mos Def’s rhymes with the rhythms of reggae. What I like best is that he doesn’t start with the easy win such as “Ms. Fat Booty”, but instead opens up with “Beef”. I have that 12 inch myself, and that acapella is always fun to mess with. Hear and get the whole project below.
