Livestream performance of new material scheduled for this Sunday 12/15/2024 via bandcamp. Recap:
1. Nasiri Dua (Islamic Dua to resist Despair)
2. Like That (Remix) – Gladiator Circus Show
3. Unknown Track (Prod. By Madlib)
4. Christmas Spoof Song – Actually pretty funny but not sure if it’s meant to be an official release
5. No Time to Pretend featuring Mizan
6. Unknown Song – clean lyric that stood out to me “One has wings, one has tentacles. Peace and pleasure are not identical.”
7. Teases a song very briefly and says its for later. Never comes back to it.
8. HYMP (Prod. By MF DOOM)
9. Gil Scott Heron – Spirits Past (Cover)
10. Song Over Andre 3000’s “I Swear, I Really Wanted to Make a Rap Album but This is Literally the Way the Wind Blew Me” Thanks Andre 3000 for letting him use it.
11. Umi Says (House and Piano Renditions)
12. Condition of Terms (Prod. By Large Professor)
Closes out vibing out to:
13. Milton Nascimento - Tudo O Que Você Podia Ser
14. Celia - Ana Boca Do Sol
Not sure what will be an actual release as I’m sure some of what is listed is meant to be just performed live but I really enjoyed the performance.
Physical vinyl and merch to come.

Great news.
I’m a terrible OP lolol if someone wants to take this over and make it an official yasiin release page.
Ok I updated OP.
Let’s support one of our legends.
I know he does releases very unconventionally and I wouldn’t be surprised if the album is the live performance that will be streamed…but I do like his stubbornness to not play the streaming game. I heard the museum album and I’m sad 99.9% of people will never know what the song “Waves” is.

Teasing Khruangbin x Vince Guliardi in his latest snippet of the project. Not surprising to see Yasiin hop on some Khruangbin potentially.

It’s kind of insane that project hasn’t leaked at this point

Large Professor song tease. Alc in the comments.
Also the hook is very similar to a song on his museum album. Different production tho.
