Yasiin Bey has long been a sporadically mysterious figure in hip-hop. Throughout the first few weeks of August though he's been popping up more than usual. First there was the unexpected cameo at a Kendrick Lamar concert in Canada, then there was his stand-up comedy debut (also in Canada), and then he kinda-sorta challenged nobody in particular to a rap battle. His latest move, surprisingly, was actually new music in the form of a single called "Basquiat Ghostwriter." And now there's a video to match.
Check out the grafitti-filled, photo-negative video of "Basquiat Ghostwriter" above and look out for footage of Jean-Michel Basquiat himself in the clip.
