Mos Def & Gil Scott-Heron

This right here is so wavy. Hearing about shit like this, and that Dave Chappelle might be following up the first Block Party, makes hip hop so worth it to me. Mos Def hooked up with the god Gil Scott-Heron over at Carnegie and they did their thing:

From carnegiehall.org: “Already a wildly successful vocalist, musician, and actor, Mos Def has taken the next logical step with the creation of the Mos Def Band, rolling hip hop, jazz, and soul into one thrilling sound.
