Musically, Mos Def or Yasiin Bey, remains on the quiet side, but he’s always ready to speak up when issues around the world affect him enough to do so. The recent attacks in Paris, that left 120 innocent people dead, sparked something inside of him enough where he hit the booth and recorded a new song. He shares the new record “NO Colonial Fiction” with us today. The song hears the Brooklyn rapper sending his love to the family of slayed Cleveland youth Tamir Rice.
Along with the song came 20+ minute interview with Yasiin, where he addresses the Paris attacks, imperial-ism and colonialism and says “Fuck off ISIS”.
