I love the lush instrumentation on the beat of this track. Ski Beats is a producer who has worked with Jay-Z, and other hip-hop artists since 1996. He has recently released an album called 24-Hour Karate School, featuring a bunch of different MCs rapping over his beats, including Mos Def.
Mos is a wordsmith premiere. Unfortunately he's spent the last few years focusing on his acting career (Be Kind Rewind, Dexter, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy), and not focused on his music. Nice to hear him featured on this track "Cream of the Planet"
