On yesterday's episode of MTV RapFix , Mannie Fresh checked in to discuss a slew of topics including his upcoming OMFGOD project with Yasiin Bey (Mos Def). While we recently reported that they had completed the album , it would appear that it's actually not a wrap just yet. Fresh reveals that they keep finding inspiration and adding new material to the record. Not only that, but apparently folks like Just Blaze, T.I., and Curren$y have contributed to OMFGOD , which should be done in a month or so. Get excited.

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 [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-07T22:26:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4937616/yasiin-bey-the-light-is-not-afraid-of/

Mos Def now known as Yasiin Bey leaks the lead single off his upcoming REcstatic album, "Quiet Dog Bite Hard" remixed by DJ Preservation.]]> text/html 2013-04-24T21:19:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4913520/yasiin-bey-mos-def-quiet-dog-bite-hard-preservation/


Back when we all knew him as Mos Def , the rapper now calling himself Yasiin Bey dropped one of the best albums of 2009 with The Ecstatic . And even though we'd all love anew project from dude, it would appear that a remix version of that album is in the works. At least, that's what I'm gathering from the description attached to this rework of "Quiet Dog Bite Hard" by Bey's in-house producer, Preservation. Here's how the Soundcloud description reads: Lead remix single off the upcoming REcstatic album Produced by Preservation.

Kanye popped up at Mos Def's recent concert at Paris' revered La Bataclan venue. Yeezy hit the stage with Yasiin and kicked a rather interesting rendition of "Can't Tell Me Nothing." Robert Glasper was in the cut. A pretty scary sight indeed!

Yasiin Bey, the legendary emcee formerly known as Mos Def, drops this new track produced by Kanye West entitled The Light Is Not Afraid Of The Dark.

Yasiin Bey es uno de los alias del rapero/actor Mos Def, quien desde 1996 es un nombre bastante conocido en el mundo del rap estadounidense.

A short while ago, we showed you a video of a live performance where Yasiin Bey unearthed a collaboration he created with Kanye West a few years back. At the time, we drooled at the prospects of the song potentially seeing the light of day (no pun intended). Well, it looks like Mighty Mos decided to oblige our wishes, and released the song in its full, uninhibited glory. Although Mos joined Kanye's G.O.O.D. Music imprint back in 2010, we really haven't heard anything from the pair since, so forgive us for getting so easily ecstatic over the team-up, even if [...]]]> text/html 2013-04-06T02:59:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4874249/mos-def-the-light-is-not-afraid-of-the/

Way back in 2006, before they were employee and employer , Yasiin Bey (FKA Mos Def) and Kanye West collaborated on a track called "The Light Is Not Afraid of The Dark" during the sessions for the Mos Def's third album, True Magic . While the track was initially shelved, its studio version has the web just weeks after Bey debuted it during a gig at Chicago's The Shrine . With West's production work focused on a hypnoticconcoctionof funky bass, pounding drums, and a little electric piano, Bey/Def deliversinspirational lines like "Who [...]]]> text/html 2013-04-05T23:04:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4873667/yasiin-bey-the-light-is-not-afraid-of-the/

Because the Internet is actually great sometimes, we're now hearing the proper studio version of that previously unreleased Yasiin Bey (fka Mos Def) track that he performed recently in Chicago . "The Light Is Not Afraid of the Dark" is a Kanye West-produced leftover from the sessions for his 2006 album, True Magic , that was released in one of the weirdest ways possible. Seriously, did anyone else feel like they were purchasing a bootleg even though it officially dropped? Anyway, I'm just glad the studio take of this track is seeing the light of day, because it deserves [...]]]> text/html 2013-04-03T13:36:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4867687/yasiin-bey-and-mannie-fresh-black-jesus/

Mos Def is one of the artists that became really successful while making less mainstream music and, contrary to others, almost never cycled the beaten path. Almost all of his albums were of a high level and very adventurous; discovering and fusing diverse genres. Even as an actor Mos Def is quite successful. Reasons enough to not change your name. But Mos Def changed his name. Its Yasiin Bey now, and his new track is named Black Jesus .

Still not feeling this name change, but Yasiin Bey (formerly Mos Def) and former Big Tymer Mannie Fresh are collaborating on a new album together, and that's definitely promising. The work of art will be called OMFGODBKNOLA and you can hear the first official offering, "Black Jesus" below. Sounds like a teaser/intro but I'm looking forward to more of this.

At least one acquaintance of mine hates this new Mannie Fresh -produced Mos Def track from his forthcoming OMFGOD album. I'm taking a more open-minded approach to what I think of this track for now. What about y'all?
