Yasiin Bey Mos Def recently made a stop at Parisian radio station Nova Radio to promote his upcoming show with Talib Kweli in Paris.
I’ve never seen Mos Def live, but he is easily one of my favorite emcees and it is clear from these videos that his live shows must be amazing. Just look at how he rocks “Sunshine Screwface” over a beautiful Dilla beat…the guys personality and charisma ooze through that fat red microphone. Plus the man just has indubitable style, almost Kanye level on that tweed jacket.
But I digress. Below are three videos of him performing at Nova, first Sunshine Screwface, then a “Quiet Dog” freestyle, and finally Niggas in Poorest.
Yasiin goes hard. That name though? Not sure it’s gonna stick. Sorry Mos.
