Yasiin Bey - The Light Is Not Afraid of the Dark (Prod. Kanye West)
This morning, Yasiin Bey (a.k.a. Mos Def) unexpectedly hit us with a track he made way back in 2006 and never released till now called "The Light In Not Afraid of the Dark." The cut is produced by Kanye West, and it's exactly one of those songs that reminds you how great artists like these two are, not that we need any more reminding. Personally, it got me a little nostalgic for the old school Kanye days. Give it a listen at the link here. Read moreYasiin Bey - N****s in Poorest
Mos Def, now going under the moniker Yasiin Bey, has created a remix of Kanye West and Jay Z's highly popular song N****s in Paris. The remix is called N****s in Poorest. In Bey's version, the messages and topics covered are extremely different from the original. N****s in Poorest is in honour of the 42nd anniversary of Malcolm X's death. This song is also the first of Bey's Top 40 Underground series, which will feature more reworked hip-hop songs, and will convey similar messages seen in N****s in Poorest.Ni**as In Poorest
The artist formerly known as Mos Def, and now Yasiin Bey, presents the video for his highly charged "Niggas in Poorest," launched today in honor of Malcolm X's death anniversary. Yasiin decided to put some real words & real thoughts into this track. While Jay & Ye's version was much more about having fun & spitting more of a luxurious rap, Yasiin went with real world news & whats really going on in the world. As Mr. Bey would say, "Don't get caught up in no throne."otw-berlin from Off The Wall TV on Vimeo.
