By now, you should know that Yasiin Bey (the artist formerly known as Mos Def) has been a Cape Town resident for a few years. You either have spotted him yourself or know someone who has. It’s said he lives in a penthouse somewhere in the CBD. My partner in all things art, Andy Mkosi and I got an opportunity to encounter the hip-hop legend on three different days in Cape Town as he prepared his Now Years Eve concert held at the iconic Zula Bar.
Friday, December 27th: Bush Radio, Salt River
Yasiin Bey has turned down almost all interview requests since moving down here. Promoters who have reached out haven’t been successful either.
