Yasiin Bey "The Light Is Not Afraid of The Dark (prod. Kanye West)" Live @ The Shrine

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

More Dante. Our man Cam Be was on hand to capture the (Tru3)magic as Yasiin Bey shut ish down at The Shrine in Chicago last weekend draped in all white and donning his signature red mic. In the clip below, we get one of the highlights of the evening, Yasiin performs a track entitled "The Light Is Not Afraid of The Dark," I've never heard dude perform this one before, so this may be a first. The song was produced by Kanye West and was meant to appear on Mos' Tru3 Magic LP (I would LOVE a Yasiin Bey Lost Tapes album). After the performance, we get a brief interview where Yassin talks about the love he gets in Chicago, where the all white (and black) everything look comes from, and the idea of being a complete artist. Check it all below.
