RAPPER YASIIN BEY: US EMPIRE CRUMBLING

Rapper Yasiin Bey (formerly Mos Def) has long been an outspoken critic of American exceptionalism and has a prediction for 2024. During this interview on The Cutting Room Floor Podcast, he suggests time is running out for empires built on brute force and says there's still hope despite dreadful on-going global conflicts ravaging regions like Congo and Sudan. He concludes with the line: 'Through the demise my heart is still alive. It looks awful outside but it’s still worth a try.' As usual, artists have a way with with words. Listen to his and let us know if you agree.
