As discussed , Erykah Badu and Yasiin Bey have joined forces for a fascinating show called "YOU'RE CAUSING QUITE A DISTURBANCE": A collaboration with four-time Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter and 2012-2013 Brooklyn Phil Artist-in-Residence ERYKAH BADU and 2011-2012 Brooklyn Phil Artist-in-Residence YASIIN BEY (Mos Def) Featuring new arrangements from Badu's 2008 album New Amerykah Part One: 4th World War by Brooklyn composer TED HEARNE (plus original music by Hearne) as well as the legendary arrangements of Yasiin Bey's songs by composer DEREK BERMEL (plus original music by Bermel) The  June 8 show at BAM Howard Gilman Opera [...]

Although I was completely unaware of the upcoming movie They Die By Dawn before this morning, the title track from the soundtrack has certainly piqued my interest. The fittingly theatrical cut features two highly regarded emcees in  Yasiin Bey  (formerly known as  Mos Def)  and  Jay Electronica  who help create a vivid musical trailer over a steadily building western-influenced instrumental.  They Die By Dawn  is set to be released later this year and its cast will include  Michael K Williams  and  Erykah Badu  among several other notable names. In the meantime, hop on your horse, grab your musket [...]

Thulani Davis'  art world/political thriller  Maker Of Saints will soon be adapted into a motion picture featuring Erykah Badu and actor Roger Guenveur Smith, reports IndieWire . Yasiin Bey (formally Mos Def) is also rumored to be involved in the project. The novel Maker of Saints  is inspired by the 1985 death of NYC artist  Ana Mendieta , and the synopsis for the film that hooked me from the movie's Kickstarter page reads: "The film opens August 26, 2008 in Washington DC.

EVFA & ArtDontSleep present The Robert Glasper Experimen t at Exchange LA with Bilal, King, Quantic & Alice Russell on March 22nd.

If you like mind opening feel good music form the soul then I strongly suggest you are [...]

2012 brings the advent of all those insanely amazing collaborations we saw forming last year. One of them being Mark Ronson  working with  Erykah Badu  and Yasiin Bey  (more commonly known as Mos Def ) to produce this deliciously full-bodied track called "A La Modeliste." Uptempo trombone and drum beats provided by none other than Trombone Shorty , Zigaboo Modelist  and key members of The Dap Kings  give the song a sweet kick. Filmed both in studio and at New Orlean's venerable Preservation Hall , the song is part of Hyundai's RE:GENERATION [...]

Despite the millions of so-called producers out there, there are very few that are actually writing songs with such high levels of musicality. In my opinion, Mark Ronson is one of the few musicians who has the capability of producing not only a great track, but one that can appeal to casual music fans as well as purist snobs. Hyundai's RE:Generation project liberated this track not long ago, and today we get some fantastic visuals from the New Orleans style jazz performance. Yassin Bey's feature is limited, as he must have not be available at the time, but [...]
