The New Danger is the second studio album by American rapper Mos Def, released on October 12, 2004, by Rawkus and Geffen Records.

[1] Production for the album was handled by Mos Def, Kanye West, 88-Keys, Minnesota, Warryn Campbell, and Psycho Les.

[13] Blender called it "mushily sentimental, self-righteously indignant and constantly in your face",[4] while AllMusic's Andy Kellman said it was "a sprawling, overambitious mess".

[3] New York magazine panned the album as "an unsatisfying muddle of protest music, black rock, and rap".

[7] Rolling Stone critic Tom Moon was more enthusiastic, hailing the album as an "earthy, impressively diverse" work that showcased Mos Def's abilities to "create deeply nuanced characterizations" and "broaden the hip-hop palette without sacrificing, or selling out, its core ideals".
