This is the first act from our “Mos Def Month of May” promo here at FROLAB

I was asked by Mos to come with him and the crew to film his 1st trip to the motherland. It was an amazing trip, so we thought we would let the readers get a taste of the trip each week until “The Ecstatic” drops on June 9th.

Keeping in line with the effects on Coodie & Chike’s “Flowers” promo, we created a ‘visualizer’ for this unreleased song… for the fans!

Mos Def - “M.D. (Doctor)” (ft. The RCDC Experiment) @ The Kennedy Center, Wash D.C. + Cape Town, South Africa | All The Way Live

Pingback on May 9th, 2009.

[...] Whenever Mos Def performs with The RCDC Experiment, its always a mesmerizing, incredible experience.  This was no exception as Mos Def took the stage at the illustrious Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. last year, backed not only by The RCDC Experiment, but also a 9 piece horns section and a 10 piece orchestra, collectively The Amino Alkaline Orchestra and Watermelon Syndicate.  The show was phenomenal, but my personal highlight was a performance of an unreleased song, “M.D. (Doctor)” played to the music of David Axelrod’s groovy “Holy Thursday” (one of my favorite songs and also sampled on Lil Wayne’s “Dr. Carter”).  Keeping the doctor theme, Mos’ lyrics expose the shady aspects of the medical world and questions the ethics of the industry… its powerful stuff.  Here we have an exclusive recording of the song being performed at The Kennedy Center from September 22nd, 2008 as well as audio and video of another rendition of the song from the Cape Town Jazz Festival from this past April courtesy of the good folks over at Frolab.
