Kanye West is on top of the world right now with a string of collaborations and new projects in the works. With artists like Common, John Legend, Kid Cudi, Big Sean, Consequence, GLC, Mr Hudson, CyHi Da Prynce, and most recently Pusha T signed to his G.O.O.D. Music label it is no wonder that he would snap up his long time friend Mos Def to join the family. Check out what was said about the situation in this month XXL magazine:
“Just as Kanye returned to his roots to scoop up Common, he recently recruited his buddy Brooklyn rapper/singer/actor Mos Def into the GOOD Music fold….’
Long regarded as a formidable talent by underground devotees and mainstream fans alike, Mos appeared on “Two Words” (from Kanye’s 2005 The College Dropout) and “Drunk and Hot Girls” (from KW’s 2007 Graduation).

Since his 1999 solo debut, Black on Both Sides, Mos has increasingly been pushed — whether by generational choices or self-exile — to the fringes of indie, alternative hip hop. Maybe it will take Kanye to reign him in.”
Other than that not much else is known about the deal. Be on the look out for more info very soon!
