Yasiin Bey (fka @MosDefOfficial) made a surprise appearance at @t6mikee's Young World Festival Saturday night at Herbert Von King Park in Brooklyn. He came out following sets from SALIMATA, Niontay, ERISTHEPLANET, and MIKE's Band of the Century.⁠ ⁠

Bey's set was as a homecoming to Bed-Stuy. He noted that while he no longer lives in Brooklyn full-time, his hometown remains a fixture in his thinking.⁠ ⁠

During the set, he debuted an unreleased track — "Sunshine Screwface"— and announced a forthcoming album, playing an Alchemist-produced song from it for the crowd. He also performed "Auditorium" in full, along with a dance remix of "Umi Says," and led the crowd in a "Free Gaza" chant. See clips from his performance below.

MIKE's Young World Festival returns to Herbert Von King Park in Brooklyn on July 11, with a stacked lineup.

Max B, Niontay (@sexafterchurch), Thirteendegrees, @ERISTHEPLANET, SALIMATA, and Black Noi$e. MIKE will be joined by Band of the Century in their festival debut.
⁠
It's a free, all-ages festival that has become one of the more thoughtfully curated events in rap. It will be Max B's first festival appearance since his release last November, following 16 years incarcerated.
