Fifteen years. That’s the age difference between Mad Max: Fury Road star Zoe Kravitz and the mighty Mos Def, now known as Yasiin Bey. However, from the naked eye, it doesn’t appear to stopping their growth–as a couple.
Yasiin Bey aka (or formerly) the Might Mos Def issues a recorded statement in regards to the protests going down in Ferguson, NYC and across the nation, and world, after failed indictments of white cops who kill unarmed Black men.
Long has mum been the word for Yasiin Bey (formerly Mos Def), who’s had his fair share of ups and downs in 2014. Fortunately, the wordsmith had a chance to speak his peace and update fans during a recent conversation with HYPETRAK in Hong Kong.
Soul Mates producer Amerigo Gazaway is back with more great vibes and quality tunes via the second installment of his Yasiin Gaye — a mashup series of Yasiin Bey and Marvin Gaye — Side 2: The Return.
There has been an official Kanye West sighting. Last night in Paris, Yasiin Bey, f/k/a Mos Def, brought out Yeezy, who in turn performed his hit song “Can’t Tell Me Nothing.”
Slowly but surely, you know longer have to add an “aka Mos Def” when you say Yasiin Bey. However, this tune, the Kanye West produced “The Light Is Not Afraid of The Dark” is from before the name change and sounds like vintage freshness.
The church of Hip-Hop can always use more Yasiin Bey. The artist still known as the Mighty Mos Def drops “Black Jesus,” a collaboration with legendary Cash Money producer Mannie Fresh.
Yaasin Bey has been rather giving with the unreleased material lately. The first instance came just days ago, when footage of the Brooklyn native performing an unheard track produced by Kanye West, titled “The Light is Not Afraid of the Dark,” in Chicago surfaced. Today, we got wind that the artist formerly known as Mos […]
Yasiin Bey isn’t one to mince words, and last week he released a poem lamenting about the brand new Barclays Center arena in his beloved hometown. Although the piece, titled “On center.stadium.status,” could have been seen as a jab toward Jay-Z, Bey cleared the air in an interview saying that is not the case.
Hip-Hop fans have long known that Yasiin Bey aka the Mighty Mos Def is superb poet. Now readers of The Paris Review will recognize as well since one of the Brooklyn native’s poems has been published in the renowned literary publication.
So, Yasiin Bey has an ongoing Top 40 Underdog series, and forthcoming project. This is where we mention that the last drop was back in the spring. Nevertheless, today we get the latest installment with a tune called “I Don’t Like.”
