Magnetic: Mos Def News

Most people are buzzing around here looking for Breed Love Odyssey Tour info or Katrina Klap downloads, and it’s been a slow Mos Def news day, so I figured I’d keep it light and link to an old interview Mos Def did on NPR with Fresh Aire host Terry Gross.

The interview is about half hour long and catches Mos talking about his music, his movies, his songwriting process, and the difference between the music business and the movie business.

Geurilla News Network has an interview with Mos Def focused on the motivations behind his Katrina Klap single and his thoughts on the Katrina disaster and its aftermath.

Mos Def also talks about his desire to raise $250 million dollars with the song as the vehicle:

My real aim with “Dollar Day” is, God willing, to raise $250 million independently, to help adjust the means of the poorest and the weakest, in not just New Orleans but all throughout the Delta region.
