Mos - Def Umi Says

Mos Def began his music career in 1994 in the short-lived group Urban Thermo Dynamics with his younger brother D.c.Q and younger sister Ces. Despite their contract with Payday Records, the group only released two singles, and their debut album Manifest Destiny was not released until 2004, when it was distributed by Illson Media. In 1996, he emerged as a solo artist and worked with De La Soul and da Bush Babees, before he released his own first single, "Universal Magnetic," which was a huge underground hit.[citation needed]
Mos Def signed with Rawkus Records and formed the group Black Star with Talib Kweli. They released an album, Mos Def and Talib Kweli are Black Star, in 1998.[4] Mostly produced by Hi-Tek, the album featured the hit singles, Respiration and Definition, which would go on to be featured in VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of Hip-Hop.[5] Mos Def released his solo debut album Black on Both Sides in 1999, also through Rawkus.[6] Around this time he also contributed to the Scritti Politti album Anomie & Bonhomie and the Rawkus compilations Lyricist Lounge and Soundbombing.
