Ep.67 - Mos Def

<p>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.</p><p>TIMESTAMPS:<br>Weekly Music Roundup - (2:28)<br>Topic Intro/Ben's Research Corner - (18:23)<br>Black On Both Sides - (28:25)<br>The New Danger - (36:59)<br>True Magic - (47:58)<br>The Ecstatic - (52:39)<br>Final Thoughts - (58:29)<br>Lighter Note - (1:12:07)</p><p>Thanks for listening.
