Mos Def Discography - 320 -7 Albums--rap--by Dr... [top]

The tag is almost reductive. Mos Def/Yasiin Bey transcends genre. He is a jazz poet, a punk revolutionary, a soul crooner, and a hip-hop purist. His discography is the sound of a man refusing to be commodified.

This discography represents the foundation of the "Native Tongues" revival in the late 90s and early 2000s. While Mos Def has since retired the name and moved on to new artistic phases as Yasiin Bey, these seven albums (particularly the run from 1998 to 2009) represent a singular era in hip-hop where poetry and street beats found a perfect balance.
