About
The Ecstatic is the fourth and final studio album by American hip hop artist Mos Def, aka Yasiin Bey on Downtown Records. The album was recorded during 2007 to 2009, and production was handled by J Dilla, Mr. Flash, Madlib, Mos Def, Oh No, Preservation, and The Neptunes. The Ecstatic features samples of several diverse musical styles, including soul, Afrobeat, jazz, funk, and Latin music, and has been noted by music writers for its "out-of-the-crates" samples. The album debuted at number nine on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, selling 39,000 copies in its first week. It serves as Yasiin's second highest charting album to date. Upon its release, The Ecstatic received general acclaim from most music critics, and it earned Yasiin a Grammy Award nomination for Best Rap Album. Rolling Stone magazine named it the seventeenth best album of 2009. In a podcast interview with Anthony DeCurtis at the 92nd Street Y, Yasiin stated that he named the album after the book The Ecstatic by Victor LaValle.
