Yasiin Bey sighting! The artist formerly known as Mos Def appears on "R.E.D." a new single by indigenous Canadian trio A Tribe Called Red. The song will appear on the group's upcoming album We Are The Halluci Nation and also features native drum crew Black Bear and Iraqi-Canadian rapper Narcy. Here's what Narcy had to say about the song:
"I think it is the first time in history where you have an African, an Iraqi, and the Indigenous of Canada are on one song. It's an important breaking in culture, we are coming together to counter the narratives built around the history of our communities and showing the power of our people combined. It feels like the beginning of something new and old, the rebirth after many injustices."
Quotable Lyrics
The day like lightning and the thunder
The sun, moon, the stars, and the thunder
Abundance in bundles, Blessings and chuckles
Towers and tunnels, views and valleys
