Initially regarded as one of the most promising rappers to emerge in the late '90s, Mos Def (aka Yasiin Bey), turned to acting in subsequent years as music became a secondary concern for him.
He did release new music from time to time, including albums such as The New Danger (2004), but his output was erratic and seemingly governed by whim.
