I personally like the sung vocals in this album as the guitars strum their way across the track. “The Boogie Man Song” is the intro to this album and it’s so chilling. However, let’s dive into each song in “The New Danger”. Some would say that some songs do not fit on the album like a puzzle piece on the wrong puzzle set. This album takes multiple listens for it to grow on you and the production is satisfying with plenty of samples of aggressive metal, funky jazz, soothing blues, and various rhyme schemes of rap. The unpredictability of Mos Def's sung vocals and rap ability leaves you on suspense on the first listen because it’s not put together. The overall album is all over the place, is not cohesive, and possesses a mix of music genres such as jazz, rock, rap, and blues. Experimental albums are something special, but can have polarizing reviews. It doesn’t “fit" in the year it dropped nor the present years and that’s acceptable. We understand Mos Def's style and this album is absolutely one of a kind. Yasiin Bey, a.k.a Mos Def, dropped his second album called “The New Danger” with Geffen Records. Let’s move away from the mainstream and move into a dark side of 2004. Grown Man Business (Fresh Vintage Bottles)Ģ004 was a great year in hip hop and I mentioned that in a previous DAR article.
