The Ecstatic is finally being reissued! The Ecstatic was Mos Def’s fourth studio album and it was released in 2009 through Downtown Music/Records.
The track ”Priority” is produced by Preservation and samples Bobby Hebb’s (1970) ”Flower”.
Possibly due to legal issues The Ecstatic is not available on streaming services. The vinyl reissue released by legendary Rhymesayers Entertainment consists of 16 tracks, just like the original reissue. However, the reissue is pressed on red vinyl. There’s a deluxe edition (US$200) that includes a book and two extra tracks pressed on 7″. These are available through the Rhymesayers website as a Standard and as a Deluxe edition.
Obviously, if you never got a copy of the original release we definitely recommend you to get a copy of the reissue. On production duties on The Ecstatic are Preservation, Georgia Anne Muldrow, J Dilla, Madlib, Mos Def, Mr. Flash, The Neptunes and Oh No.

Eight years have passed since the death of Jay Dee. This is our second tribute to celebrate the life and the music of J Dilla. This particular mix consists mostly of music released during the last years of Dilla’s life. This music, and in particular the hard drums, made me visit record shops regularly asking for everything and anything released by Jay Dee!
Enjoy the music and if you like to give a listen to our previous Jay Dee tribute please click here! R.I.P. Dilla!

J Dilla a.k.a. Jay Dee left us in februari 2006. 32 years old, Dilla left a legacy of amazing music both as a solo artist as in his productions. This tribute is a small taste of the music Jay Dee blessed us with and that we at 1200.nu feel you should experience.
Shoutout to Raw Fusion who invited Jay Dee in 2002(?) to perform in Mosebacke, Stockholm.
