Freeload: Mos Def, “Quiet Dog”

story THE FADER

We remain optimistic that The Ecstatic will be released despite there being no evidence to support that optimism other than leaks and live versions of songs from it. This is the latest one, which according to an ad in our new issue is the second single after “Life In Marvelous Times”, and it’s pretty good, though we can’t remember the last time radio played a song whose chorus was a lightly pedaled bass drum and a whispered “simmer down now.” Prove us wrong, Hot 97.
