Yasiin Bey Returns w/ A Classic Performance On New Single "Sensei On The Block"

Photographer Ralston Smith Captures Yasiin Bey Playing Live In San Francisco At The New 1015 Venue On April 23, 2015.

Yasiin Bey is more present in 2015 than he has been in virtually the entire decade prior. Despite the ill-fated challenge to battle any rapper on the damn planet, Bey might have just made the case for his continued supremacy in the 2010s with the nostalgic, Ski Beatz-produced slapper "Sensei On The Block," which finds the Brooklyn bomber back in true-form with air-tight wordplay over a vintage sonic specimen; an effortless recall to The New Danger days. Those that have been tracking the jet-set mic maven's steps over the last few days know it won't stop there, with a London appearance on deck that is, of course, shrouded in mystery, but seems to involve the likes of Peanut Butter Wolf, Breakbeat Lou and DJ Yoda (who have their own secret stop planned cross-pond) not to mention the second installment of the Mos Def Comedy Jam also rumored to be upon us. So if you've been wondering what you're boy's up to these days, the next few hours could prove to be awfully insightful. Keep your eyes and ears on us, as it doesn't seem the surprises will be letting up anytime soon. Hear Yasiin Bey's back-in-action single "Sensei On The Block" below and grab a copy of the cut on iTunes today.
