Kevin / January 17, 2012
Yasiin Bey, fka Mos Def, is kicking off his new moniker by promising to freestyle forty charting top 40 hip-hop songs, starting with Jay-Z and Kanye West’s “Niggas in Paris” to create “Niggas in Poorest”. Freestyling over tracks and injecting a large dose of political rhyming like this ain’t nothing new to Mos, he did the same deal on songs like “The Rape Over” that also took a Jay-Z beat.
