Entries in Yasiin Bey (4)

Way Gone Wednesdays: Yasiin Bey

The elusive Yasiin Bey (formerly Mos Def) has dropped an inverted video for "Basquiat Ghostwriter". Still one of my favorite voices in the game. Dig.

Feel Good Fridays: Yasiin Gaye

Gummy Soul's own Amerigo Gazaway has mashed up Yasiin Bey (Mos Def) with Marvin Gaye for his "Soul Mates" series. Genius. This feels good.

Feel Good Fridays: The REcstatic

DJ Preservation reworked Mos Def's 2009 effor The Ecstatic. Even though we have to call him Yassin Bey now - this still works. Dig it.

Feel Good Fridays: DJ Preservation

DJ Preservation has taken the Mos Def instant classic "Quiet Dog Bite Hard" from his 2009 release, The Estatic - and given it new life. Easily one of my favorite Mos Def tunes (or do I have to call him Yasiin Bey now?) so I listened with reservations but it still grooves. Dig.
