Yasiin Bey aka Mos Def has been a fearless creative performer his entire music career, not allowing the music industry to dictate the type of artist he chooses to be.
His debut album, 1999’s Black on Both Sides, announced a saviour of hip-hop but, following label hassles and other maladies, Yasiin Bey chose a slow fade.
It’s an hour past the advertised show time when the artist formerly known as Mos Def finally appears in this impatient sweatbox wearing a nifty fedora and a hugely superfluous scarf with no explanation for his lateness.
