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.
