Yasiin Bey aka Mos Def performed a show at The Shrine in Chicago and decided to treat fans to some unreleased music during his set. Mos performed an unreleased song called ‘The Light Is Not Afraid Of The Dark’ produced by Kanye West, which didn’t make it to his third album True Magic released in 2006. Now this sounds really awesome so we won’t mind hearing the studio version sometime soon.

What all Mannie Fresh fans have wanted since last summer is Mannie’s much-anticipated collaborative project with Yasiin Bey (Mos Def) titled OMFGOD. “We actually mixing it right now,” said Fresh. Mannie and Mos “decided to keep it simple” and therefore a feature-less 10-track release will soon be making its way to the public. “We recorded way more than that,” clarified Mannie. “But rather than to [just] have somebody say like, ‘Oh, wow’ – I think a lot of times when you do that you throw away music. So, I just wanna give people like ten bangers and let’s be out.”
