In 1994, Mos Def along with his younger brother, DCQ, and his younger sister, Ces, formed the group Urban Thermo Dynamics. UTD first graced the scene with the underground classic track "My Kung Fu". They soon thereafter followed up with the now classic "Manifest Destiny" single, which gave them notoriety among the wider hip-hop masses. Both singles where to lead up to the release of the groups debut album, Manifest Destiny. Though the group was signed to Payday Records, the album never saw an official release.

Soon after the group was released from Payday, Mos Def and DCQ formed Medina Green and released the Rawkus Records underground mega-hit "Crosstown Beef." Later, Mos Def recorded with Talib Kweli as Black Star, which took his underground notoriety to soaring heights. Mos Def’s commercial popularity spawned with his hit gold debut solo album, Black on Both Sides.

Now, commercially available for the first time, is the UTD Manifest Destiny album via Illson Media (imprint founded by DCQ). This hip-hop classic is filled with dark and melodic bass heavy production from Diamond D. and Showbiz. The album features the timeless songs: "My Kung Fu", "Manifest Destiny", "Moon In Cancer", and "Like That." This album is a must have for all fans of classic and quality hip-hop.

In conjunction with the release of the UTD album, Illson Media is re-releasing the Medina Green U Know The Flex Mixtape Vol. 1, featuring new DCQ and Mos Def tracks.
