yasiin bey (FKA Mos Def) Unveils First New Solo Material In 5 Years Entitled “Money Christmas”

yasiin bey, more commonly known as Mos Def, has unveiled his first new solo material in five years.

Money Christmas, the next chapter in yasiin bey’s prolific career, will be broadcast live on his Bandcamp for $7.99. Thereafter, in contrast to releasing the new material through traditional channels, access to the video and downloadable music tracks will be exclusively via the purchase of a QR code issued in conjunction with limited-edition merchandise including hoodies, t-shirts, stickers and laminates to be sold on bey’s Bandcamp in due course. The material will also be released on vinyl in the coming months after the livestream.

“Money Christmas” will be the first solo release since 2019’s “Negus” sound installation and comes on the heels of the physical release of the Madlib produced Black Star album (with Talib Kweli) “No Fear Of Time”, as well as the BEYONDOOM tour over last month (in which he paid tribute to the works of the late great MF DOOM), and tours over the last couple of years with Dave Chapelle, Chris Rock, and more.
