  • Black On Both Sides est le premier album solo du rappeur de Brooklyn Mos Def. Il fait suite à sa collaboration avec Talib Kweli sur l'album Blackstar. Black On Both Sides surfe sur la vague du succès du label Rawkus qui à l'époque avait réussi à imposer son rap engagé grâce à des artistes tels que Common, Talib Kweli ou Pharoahe Monch.
  • Black on Both Sides è un album di alternative hip hop di Mos Def, pubblicato il 12 ottobre 1999. Inteso come un ritorno alle radici dell'hip hop, il disco è stato considerato rapidamente come un classico del genere, conquistando il disco d'oro, grazie alle sue rime a sfondo socio-politico rappate su basi venate di jazz e di altri inusuali campionamenti, essendo Mos Def assolutamente disinteressato al genere gangsta rap.
