Abstract
In 2004, rapper Mos Def released an album entitled The New Danger, which stunned many album critics who were expecting the hard-hitting beats and rhymes that were synonymous with traditional rap albums and Mos Def’s previous work. On the album, he experimented with funk, rock, and soul music and covered subject matter that ranged from the commercialization of Hip Hop by corporations to loss and heartbreak.
