Mos Def Track Produced by Kanye West Track Surfaces Online

In 2006, when Yasiin Bey was the Mighty Mos Def, he worked with in-demand producer Kanye West while recording his third album 'Tru3 Magic.'

Although the LP was released without much fanfare, none of Yeezy's productions were featured on the album. At a concert performance in Chicago, Bey performed the unreleased song 'The Light Is Not Afraid of the Dark' from the 'Tru3 Magic' sessions. Afterward, the Brooklyn rhyme-spitter released the track on the Internet (via Okayplayer), much to his fan's enjoyment.

The song is rather subdued with its soul-sample groove, dusty vinyl sound and bopping beat. Bey raps some cool punchlines on the joint and a call-and-response line on the chorus. "My voice like magic / My flow fantastic / In summary I'm real, ordinary, elaborate / But check the profile, this is lyrically handsome," he raps.

The song is a nostalgic reminder of how good Bey sounds over West's productions. If you need a reference point, check out his blistering verse on 'Two Words' off 'College Dropout.'

After listening to his previously-released Mannie Fresh collaboration 'Black Jesus,' we are now anxiously awaiting Yasiin Bey's 'OMFGOD' album.
