Details

• 'Fear Not of Man' starts with a prayer to Allah because Mos Def is calling to a higher power. He doesn't stop there. In order, he dedicates his album to God, man, woman, his hometown (Brooklyn), and everyone, all over the map. He makes it clear from the beginning that his music is for for everyone. Gatekeepers be damned.
