Yasiin Bey Samples Beenie Man On “Dec 99th - Local Time”
“The local time is always now. Forever is a current event,” he writes in the Soundcloud description.
Yasiin Bey is still stuck in South Africa, dealing with allegations that he overstayed his visa and attempted to leave the country using a fake passport. But the artist formerly known as Mos Def has still been releasing music, like "Dec 99th - N.A.W." and today's "Dec 99th - Local Time," both produced by Ferrari Sheppard. "Local Time," was recorded in DPlanet Studios in Cape Town, and features Bey interpolating melodies from Beenie Man's "Romie." Listen below.
