Hip-Hop Gets Back One of Its Most Beloved Sons! Yasiin Bey (Mos Def)

After many years of Battling the South African government, our beloved brother Yasiin Bey (Formerly known as Mos Def) is back in the United States.  Mos Def pulled up to Hot 97 to chat with Old Man Ebro and the rest of his morning show crew to chop it up.  Yasiin speaks vaguely about his travels, which he hints he will go more in depth at a later time.  He talks about the state of the Union and how America is looking from the perspective of foreign nations. He also wraps up the interview with his feelings on the current state of the music industry and where it should be heading.

Many of us have been patiently awaiting for the return of the Emcee formerly known as Mos Def.  Yasiin who was barred from returning home during a tour in 2016, over the use of a controversial alternative Passport documents.  Now that he is back home from his extensive trip in the motherland, Yasiin is ready to get back to making music and uplifting his people.  You can check out the full interview below from his HOT 97 appearence.
