Ep.67 - Mos Def
On Ep.67 DITD: Mos Def, (Now Yasiin Bey) is one of the purest artists on wax and as a person. That purity may be a detriment to the music he has put out, but he's proved to be a lightning rod for everything bad about the music industry.

Show Notes
Yasiin Bey/Mos Def is an enigma in every sense of the word. Who else chooses jail in a foreign country instead of just flying out? Who else pushes to talk about the current issue of the day instead of his career history? He's so principled, it's a surprise that he has four Studio Albums! Yasiin's career is a lightning rod for everything that's wrong with the music industry and through all the BS, has stuck with being a true artiste. For better or worse.
