Mos Def-initely Not Coming to Beijing

We’ve received confirmation from organizers that US hip-hop star Yasiin Bey (or the artist formerly known as Mos Def) will not be performing at this weekend’s MIDI Festival as he had been scheduled to on Monday (April 30). The reason is unclear so far - feel free to speculate away in the comments space below - but we'll update you if we're able to get more comment from the organizers.

So it seems for now Beijingers will have to settle for one of Bey's classics. Here is his ode to a female with a particularly wide derrière.
