Knowledge Music, Peace Music and MTV Classic present... | MOS DEF |

The Ecstatic Tour ...Presenting... Grammy Award-nominated rapper, actor and poet MOS DEF in his first ever headline tour of Australia - The Ecstatic Tour. Titled in support of his current album of the same name - The Ecstatic (his 4th studio album to date) just earned a 2010 Grammy Award nomination for Best Rap Album & Rolling Stone magazine named it one of the best albums of 2009.

The Ecstatic Tour is the first time Mos Def has been in Australia since he was here with DJ Shadow in 2006 and this is his first and only ever headline Australian tour! MOS DEF's musical career has spanned nearly two decades, starting out in a short lived group with his brother and sister. By '96 he was an emerging solo artist and was working with De La Soul and Da Bush Babees before releasing his own first single, 'Universal Magnetic' which was a huge underground hit. He then went on to join with TALIB KWELI and together they released a full length album under the name BLACK STAR. 4 solo albums and nearly ten years later, Mos has now signed on to Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music imprint for the next chapter! West and Mos have collaborated several times, most recently on the G.O.O.D. Friday track "Lord Lord Lord". Mos has taken on something of a spiritual adviser role for Kanye as of late - in a recent Tweet about his "Power" remix verse Kanye wrote, "Mos helped me find the 'old me' lyrically." Initially recognized for his musical output, Mos Defs screen work since the early 2000s has established him as one of only a handful of rappers who have garnered critical approval for their acting work.
