Welcome back to the Record Report! In this episode, we dive deep into one of hip-hop’s most influential albums: Mos Def’s Black On Both Sides (1999). Join us as we explore the cultural impact, lyrical genius, and genre-defying sound of this classic project. From Mos Def’s powerful storytelling to his fusion of conscious rap, jazz, and soulful beats, Black On Both Sides remains a milestone in hip-hop history.

We’ll discuss standout tracks like “Mathematics,” “Hip Hop,” and “Umi Says,” dissecting the themes of race, identity, and social justice that are as relevant today as they were when the album dropped. Plus, we’ll examine Mos Def's evolution as both an artist and activist.

Tune in for an insightful, nostalgic, and thoughtful conversation about one of the most iconic albums of the late '90s and a true testament to the artistry of Mos Def.
