Hip-hop renaissance man Mos Def has built his career from political, introspective lyrics, a mix of sci-fi silliness and hardcore beats, and carefully chosen acting gigs. Tonight, he sits down with Rolling Stone contributing editor Anthony DeCurtis to discuss his multi-faceted work schedule and influences. Whether musing over the fate of his next major release, his thoughts on racial equality and the Jena Six trial, or his recent role in Michel Gondry's surreal Be Kind Rewind, Brooklyn's native son keeps it honest, humble, and engaging.
