MOS DEF - MOS DEF TARGETS BUSH + BONO IN HARD-HITTING CHARITY SINGLE

Rapper-turned-actor MOS DEF has become the first star to record a new benefit single for the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

The HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY star wrote KATRINA KLAP, inspired by TV footage he has seen in the wake of the August (05) storm that devastated parts of southeast America.

The track samples New Orleans, Louisiana native JUVENILE's NOLIA CLAP.

On Katrina Klap, Mos Def takes President GEORGE W BUSH and other leaders to task for reacting slowly to the tragedy.

He raps, "Mr President, about that cash/Policy for handling the ni**as and trash/You better off on crack, dead or in jail, or with a gun in Iraq."

The rapper also blasts rocker and humanitarian BONO, who he accuses of turning his back on the Hurricane Katrina tragedy after spending so much time and effort fighting poverty and erasing Third World debt.

He raps, "It's enough to make you holler out/Like where the f**k is Sir Bono and his famous friends now?/Don't get it twisted, man, I dig U2/But if you ain't about the ghetto, than f**k you too/Who cares about rock and roll when babies can't eat food?"

The track has been released to select DJs and is available on the Internet. No official release details are available.
