The Ecstatic is the fourth
album by American rapper
Mos Def (pictured) , released by
Downtown Records on June 9, 2009. Singer
Georgia Anne Muldrow and rappers
Slick Rick and
Talib Kweli were guest vocalists. The album has been described by music journalists as a

The Ecstatic charted at number nine on the
