Audio: Mos Def “Say You Will” (Kanye West Cover) Live @ The Blue Note

High Voltage comes to the rescue once again with some amazing live audio. Back in January Mos Def did a string of shows at NYC legendary jazz club The Blue Note. Here we have Mighty Mos' 12 minute rendition of Kanye West's "Say You Will" with the help of RCDC Experiment (Robert Glasper, Chris Dave, Casey Benjamin & Derrick Hodge). Apparently Mos also adds verses from "U R The One" into his interpretation of Yeezy's track. As I said, this one runs 12 minutes of live audio, but it's worth every second of your time.

The Mighty Mos never disappoints. ATL needs access to good music like this instead of Soulja B_tch.

I love it when an artist reinterprets another artist’s work. Mos definitely added another dimension to this track. It almost sounds like no one was supposed to ever hear this. It has a strange voyeuristic quality to it.

I like how modern music can have belnds with days of the original art form. I am a sucker for good modern songs going an organic route. I would like to hear Kanye’s thoughts on the song he has to be flattered.
