Mos Def | True Magic

According to Wikipedia…

True Magic is the third solo album from New York rapper Mos Def. It is his last album on Geffen Records and was released on December 29, 2006. True Magic features production from The Neptunes, Rich Harrison, Minnesota and RJD2, among others. The album was released in a clear-case with no cover art.

The song "Crime & Medicine" is essentially a cover of GZA’s 1995 single "Liquid Swords", though it contains different verses. Also, the track "Undeniable" uses elements from the 2003 song "Anti-Matter" by King Geedorah aka MF DOOM. The song "Dollar Day" uses the same beat as Nolia Clap by Juvenile.

It was recently announced on MTV, that this version isn’t a full version, but a teaser/promotional debut almost. A new version of the album is coming out soon. It will include updated songs, and cover art.
