Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released under contractually obligated circumstances with minimal promotion and initially packaged without cover art, 'True Magic' marks the end of Mos Def's tenure with Geffen Records. The album strips away the live instrumentation of his previous effort in favor of politically charged, raw boom-bap production.
