In a thrilling surprise for music lovers, Yasiin Bey, known for his bold artistic choices, is teaming up with The Alchemist to release a new album. Both artists announced their joint project named ‘Forensics,’ set to drop in 2025, during an upcoming live event in Paris.
Mark your calendars for January 25, when the duo will premiere new material at Le Trianon in Paris. This event promises to be an electrifying showcase of their collaborative effort.
Yasiin Bey is making waves not just with ‘Forensics,’ but also with his solo project ‘Money Christmas.’ Produced by Large Professor, this album arrives with striking artwork by Anuar Khalifi. The painting provocatively features Osama bin Laden in a Santa costume, sparking discussions and adding a visual layer to Bey’s music.
Unlike traditional releases, ‘Money Christmas’ bypasses streaming services. On December 15, Bey held a livestream where he premiered the album, which will soon be on Bandcamp for $9.99. Fans who watched the debut will have access to the stream and can also purchase the video.
Vinyl enthusiasts can look forward to owning ‘Money Christmas’ in the months ahead. This aligns with Bey’s unique approach to music distribution, as seen with his 2019 album ‘Negus,’ presented exclusively in museums.
The announcement of ‘Forensics’ alongside ‘Money Christmas’ signifies an exciting period for Yasiin Bey’s fans, as he breaks the silence of his musical hiatus with groundbreaking projects.
As Yasiin Bey and The Alchemist prepare to unveil ‘Forensics,’ their collaboration promises to be a highlight in the music scene. With Yasiin Bey’s innovative release strategies and The Alchemist’s renowned production skills, fans can expect a truly memorable experience.
