Mos Def’s The Ecstatic was one of the few hip-hop albums I really connected with this year, and the leadoff track, Supermagic, is a highlight — even if the song’s producer, Oh No, simply recycled the sample/beat from his own track Heavy off the 2007 album Dr. No’s Oxperiment.

No matter, though. Mos gives the production a worthy lyrical complement, and the newly released video is a no-frills affair, keeping the attention focused squarely on the song itself.
