Yasiin Bey

Yasiin Bey, formerly known as Mos Def and one half of the influential Black Star, is (rightly) regarded as a legend within the hip-hop world. With his musical versatility, astute lyrics and fluid flows, the artist wrote hip-hop history with albums like Mos Def & Talib Kweli Are Black Star and the acclaimed Black On Both Sides. In 2017, he put a stop to his musical career in order to pursue other artistic endeavours.

But one thing has always remained: his outspoken love of MF DOOM’s rhymes. Bey often spoke of how DOOM’s complex rhyme patterns and productions shaped his view of the hip-hop world. As a tribute to MF DOOM aka Viktor Vaughan aka The Villain aka King Gheedorah or simply DOOM, who passed away in 2020, Yasiin Bey comes to Brussels for an exclusive show in which he will only perform his favourite tracks by the masked artist.

THANK GOD, IT’S DOOMSDAY!
