Time to get Ecstatic again! Another new single off of Mos Def's upcoming album The Ecstatic Casa Bey. Apparently there's been a name change. Here we have the title track from the LP. That groovy uptempo sample you're hearing is Banda Black Rio's "Casa Forte." The story has it that Dante was put onto the song during a recent trip to South America and commissioned DJ Preservation and Dante Smith to chop it up into the beat you're hearing now. Casa Bey will feature guest spots from Talib Kweli and Slick Rick and production from Oh No, Chad Hugo, Madlib, Mr. Flash and the late J Dilla, among others. Casa Bey wil be in stores June 9th. I hope the Mos Def doubters are dwindling at this point.
Update: The label corrected their press release, the album is still called The Ecstatic this is the latest single.
Mos Def "Casa Bey"
Here’s the live version from back in January when he was calling it “Casa Forte”

man where is mos going with this shit? looks like another true magic
the album is still called The Ecstatic. Thats the artwork for the single.
Undeniable music. Stepping outside the box.
mos is just mos, stop trying to think he needs to sound a certain way and just appreciate the music. he still rips it, listen to what he’s sayin.
He obviously is still going to cater to fans of his early days on this album. There’s a Black Star track on it after all.

^^Mos Live in Cape Town^^^
joints called (Doctor) over john coltrane x Dave Axlerod
the shit is nice.. i am yearning for studio quality, and hope it is on the album..
If it is then it will probably be the climax..it just fits
tru3 magic really wasn’t up to much, let’s face it. but if mos drops another New Danger i’ll be very happy.very underrated album, hateddddd on simply for not being Black on Both Sides part 2
some people will still hate on mos cos they want him to drop 1999 rhymes. classic as that shit is, we’re in 2009 and boom bap just isn’t groundbreaking anymore
tru3 magic was nice…if u dont think it was u definitely gotta clean some fraudulence up out your ear canals..
Mos was born to be an emcee. His flow is untouchable.
this is awesome. this is funky as fucccc
Dope to def.
he played a live version with a full jazz band backing him up at Yoshi’s in Oakland. didn’t sound anything like this though, a lot more downtempo
dubble dope!
Wow nice!

Awww MAN this track is cold!!!!! Mos is a BEAST! If the whole album has this kinda feel/flow, it’s gonna be bananas. I’m excited. Just glad that some emcees are actually workin’ to keep hip-hop alive. Good stuff.
“Who pooted?”
–dude next to me
MONSTROUS as always and never falls shorts to make you want to join in and boogie. Mos Def definately make me believe HIP HOP ain’t going no where
this is still just ok to me………call me what you want but this is no where near the mos from black on both sides
or blackstar
Flora Purim did a great version of the song that is taken from in the early seventies on an album called Stories to Tell.
Listen to my new song and tell me what you think. I am looking for someone to lay down a rap on it. http://www.myspace.com/thashepard
mos def way more advanced now than he was on black on both sides/blackstar which was more of a typical classic hip-hop feel. he can’t stay that way forever. mos definitely stepped up his game, so ahead of his shit, most people don’t get it. looking forward to the new album.
This jawn sounds COLD to me.
mosdef-initely had the live performance in mind when recording this one. this that shit that many will sleep on until they see it bring out the soul emceee that is black dante
Keep up the rock…
LIVE!!!!
live and direct
This is actually dope, Mos setting off over somethin very different. It works. That 70′s era feel with Mos on the rhymes. Can get down with it..

feelin the horns.like how the piano fades it out. i like it. im just hard on my favorite mc’s. i hold every offering from mos and kweli up to the standard of black on both sides and reflection eternal. i kept waiting for a black jack johnson project. this sounds like an intro song anyway. just something to set the tone of the album. so i wont read much into it other than i like the feel of it.
………..DON’T STOP……..the bawdy RAWWWK !!!
Heyo… my story divides into Brazil and the U.S. I was raised in Brazil, where I got to learn how cool Black Rio is. Now I’m ecstatic by hearing the mastr MOS DEF sampling the mastas of Black Rio… word up to the North and South America connection!!!
HOLY MOS(ES)!!!
I can’t believe that some people are actually not fu*kin luvin’ this tune!
This is nothin’ short of SPECTACULAR!!
Now Mr.Black Jack Johnson got me officially ECSTATIC about “THE ECSTATIC”!
I need a remote control like in that “Click” flick, so I can fast-forward to the premiere!
ONEness.
in what way is this more advanced than black on both sides????? my ears work fine and mos is not spitting at all like he used to.
i will however hold out final judgement for the actual album
I love this guy. Sounds like he is having fun on this one. Mos don’t stop. Brooklyn has never tarnished cause of mos and talib
shut up mos is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and get outta here with the black on bothe sides shit. its ALL been good, most underrated everrrrrrrr…
yep, that one….dude stuck to the beat, and rocked….this gon’ sound ILLLL live…
Whoooooooaaa! yeah Mos… this jawn is real HOT!!
track is pure fire music and his vocals are equal,
you feel like he’s on stage with Earth Wind & Fire
killin’, even the old heads will love this… talkin’ bout
rap music is good after alllol

If you really need to get your fix for old-school mos def, get “We are hip hop” (i think that’s what it is called.) It’s about 4 cd’s worth of old-school mos def on guest spots etc., pre black on both sides. Some of the rawkus stuff you’ve all heard but he did a LOT of collabos you wouldn’t expect, and it’s all “old” mos def. Personally I’m feelin his entire collection, Tru Magic included and can’t wait for the new album. The man has hundreds of solid boombap verses out there, now he’s doing new things.
That beat is cold youngblood. Keep it going Mos. BTW, I’m playing Something the Lord Made for my nephew. Keep it going Mos!
Lovin’ this Mos…bringing the Black Rio to the masses is BIG! Looking forward to playing this on my radio program…
Mhhh… i am loving this one though i heard it during his visit to South Africa… Hearing this again makes me believe that this man works hard… You derserve to called Mighty MOS DEF
FIRE….Another Mos Album I will be puttin on my Ipod…The beat is a Shakin like a Sis from Brazil!
Can’t wait to put this on my iPod! Thank you Mos!
He sneek peek’d a bit of another cut from “The Ecstatic called “Pretty Dancer” back in February during his interview 92Y: the 92nd Street Y Podcast and it was undeniably crazy. Definitely Mos Def!
