Yasiin Bey Compares Music Industry to Scrooge McDuck: ‘It’s Completely Exploitative’

Check out what he had to say about streaming as he and The Alchemist get ready to drop their upcoming album in a unique way.

Yasiin Bey, formerly known as Mos Def, has a new album with The Alchemist on the way called Forensics, but that doesn’t mean he’s still playing the game. The Brooklyn MC and actor sat down with The Guardian during Paris Fashion Week to talk about his latest project and the state of the music industry as it has to do with streaming. For now, you can head over to Bandcamp to purchase a lanyard or a hat that feature a BUMP tag where fans can access the album and special benefits with their smartphone via blockchain.
