Mos Def (real name Dante Smith aka Yasiin Bey) essentially is what 2Pac was before 2Pac was killed. Mos Def is a phenomenal rapper. He’s dipped his toes into a number of ponds — and has collaborated with a plethora of heavy-hitters within the East Coast scene. Aside from his musical chops, Mos Def is also a very accomplished actor. Using his platform as a figurehead and as an artist, he continues to fight for the downtrodden, the disenfranchised, and those who are constantly being pushed down.
