Yeah, I like the new JB's album a lot too. Esp. Brain and How You Want It
(native tongues remix with q-tip)

Native tongues also includes Common, and Mos Def.

Mos Def is one of the best MC's I have ever heard rhyme, past and present.
He has a 12" out on Rawkus records (NY indie hip hop label) called Universal
Magnetic that is dope. The B-side is another track which I like a lot too.
Really talented guy. Plays all kinds of instruments too.
