Yasiin Bey shares an audio message about his recent South Africa situation.

Well this is rather surprising. Not even 48 hours after receiving the official version of “No More Parties In LA,” Kanye West takes to twitter to share a message he has from Mos Def Yasiin Bey.

The audio message, which appears on KanyeWest.com, turns out to be Yasiin freestyling over the phone to Yeezy's “No More Parties In LA,” though he calls his "No More Parties In SA." The title derives from Yasiin’s recent troubles with South Africa, where he was recently arrested at the Cape Town Airport for an illegal “world passport” document.

The 11-minute audio finds Yasiin giving an update on the whole South Africa situation, along that he will retire from both the music and Hollywood worlds "effective immediately." He later adds that his final album will arrive sometime later this year.

Before closing out the message however, Yasiin gave a shout out to Kendrick Lamar and rapped some various lyrics he performed for Kanye shortly before his first child, North, was born.

Listen to the entire message below.
