Yasiin Bey Announces Final Three Albums Before Retirement

Recently released from South Africa, Yasiin Bey announces how he's making up for all the time lost.

It had been announced earlier this year that the rapper/actor would make his official departure from the hip-hop scene in the impending future, however, Bey isn't one to leave without stirring up a ruckus to be remembered.

Aside from his forthcoming Dec 99th collaborative effort with co-member Ferrari Sheppard, Beyrevealed two more albums, one entitled Negus In Natural Person, and the other being a tandem collective with Mannie Fresh, entitled Promised. While both latter albums are still speculative upon their release dates, Bey proposed to “premiering” them at his Apollo Theater show in New York, scheduled on December 20th and the 21st .

Also in his announcement the Brooklyn rap veteran, formerly known as Mos Def, included his concise but heartfelt thanks to everybody who had to put up with his “shenanigans”.

The month of December wraps up a rather hectic year for Bey, much of which dealing with controversial matters in South Africa, and then released after providing an unmitigated apology. Nevertheless, his last three albums will with no doubt, mark a very memorable finale for the hip-hop legend.
