Mos Def

person · 1 claim

Alias · field aliases
Archive summary: Shore Fire Media's 14 October 2026 release describes Black Star as the duo of yasiin bey (formerly Mos Def) and Talib Kweli. This supports recording yasiin bey as an alias of the archive's Mos Def record, so catalog credits under that name can be matched to it. It asserts nothing about any Ye recording.
