Credit goes to Ruby Hornet, I’ll let: RTC explain:

I was a Black Star fan, but it was Mos’ Black On Both Sides that flipped a different switch inside me that still has yet to be turned off. Similar in the way that I searched high and low for Beastie Boys records I didn’t have, my daily trips to Dr. Wax always included a stop at the Mos Def section hoping to see something new, rare, or unreleased.

One such trip turned up profitable, as I came across The Underground Album, which at the time I thought was some crazy limited release or something in my excitement.  Obviously, it’s more of a collection of tracks that someone put together, ran off with their CD burner and took to mom and pop stores as an official bootleg.  Anyway, the tracks are still dope, and in honor of the new release we offer up The Mighty Mos Def: The Underground Album featuring songs such as “Universal Magnetic”, “Little Brother”, and “A Soldier’s Dream”.  Grab it below and look for more the rest of the week.
