Mos Def just release a new song called “Katrina Klap,” in response to the government’s mishandling of the Hurricane Katrina disaster.

Mos Def is leading the charge with a song called "Katrina Klap," which finds the rapper/actor rhyming and singing over an instrumental of "Nolia Clap" by New Orleans’ Juvenile. A spokesperson for Mos Def confirmed the song was recorded at the beginning of this week and leaked to mixtape DJs and to the Internet.

On "Katrina Klap," Mos displays everything from anger to empathy, living up to his reputation for being politically and socially outspoken, taking President Bush and others to task for the slow reaction to the disaster that affected many poor communities in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. "Mr. President, about that cash/ Policy for handling the n---as and trash," Mos raps. "You better off on crack, dead or in jail, or with a gun in Iraq."

Meanwhile, Texas hip-hop group K-Otix have released a song called "George Bush Does Not Care About Black People," playing off of Kanye West’s now infamous outburst from a live Hurricane Katrina telethon

No profanity, or inaproppriate remarks.
