[News] Mos Def wird zu Yasiin

Nach über 20 Jahren ist Schluss! Schluss mit Mos Def. Der HipHop-Aktivist aus Brooklyn wird sich ab 2012 unter seinem neuen Künstlernamen "Yasiin" zu Wort melden.

"I’m retiring the Mos Def name after 2011. I’m actually doing it. Yasiin. That’s it. Mos Def is a name that I built and cultivated over the years, it’s a name that the streets taught me, a figure of speech that was given to me by the culture and by my environment, and I feel I’ve done quite a bit with that name and it’s time to expand and move on. Also, I didn’t want to have to deal with having any moniker or separation between the self that I see and know myself as."
