Mos Def’s The Ecstatic was named one of the albums of the year from the likes of Mojo, Q and The Sunday Times so it's good to know that the release of the ‘History’ single from the hit record has just been announced for April.

As an added bonus there’s also a rare chance to catch him live on stage with a short tour of UK venues booked in for next month.

Here's the new video:

April 13th Glasgow O2 Academy £25

April 14th Bristol O2 Academy £25

April 15th London Shepherds Bush Empire £25.50
