For Austin City Limits’ first foray into hip-hop, we’re pleased to showcase Mos Def. The Brooklyn-born rapper and actor has been on the vanguard of the underground hip-hop movement for over a decade, mixing live musicians and sampled beats with rhymes about social consciousness and African-American pride. Joining Mos Def is K’naan, who’s The Troubadour is a genre-crossing album that mixes African music with American hip-hop, and boasts guest stars Mos Def, Chubb Rock, Chali 2una (from Jurassic 5), Adam Levine (from Maroon 5) and Kirk Hammett (from Metallica). Favoring a message that calls for an end to violence and bloodshed over the gangsta talk of mainstream rap, K’naan brings his style and band to the 6A stage
