Mos Def changing his name in 2012


Soundcheck:Mos Def to change his name in 2012 | Music News

Posted by pangea in PGTV, Soundcheck on September 6, 2011 | No Comments
September 7, 2011 by Aamir Yaqub The mighty Mos Def is not gonna be Mos Def when the clock hits midnight on January 1st 2012. Speaking to Peter Rosenberg for MTV2′s Sucker Free programme across the pond, Mos (previous government name Dante Terrell Smith) explained that he will be leaving his current moniker behind in exchange for the name“Yasiin,” which is apparently his real first name.

Pangea's Garden is rich and layered and textured. It is a chorus of voices exploring and celebrating the liberation of the Afrosensual aesthetic. It started here with one voice and grew into a community that could no longer be constrained by the narrow constrictions of Bloggers format. So if you like what you've seen here in this small patch by the lake, make sure to check out the real Garden at PangeasGarden.com

It will be worth your while, I promise.

Pangaea's Garden
Pangea’s Garden is the sanctuary for striking images that pay homage to the exotic beauty of earthSistas. It is the place that celebrates pride in an Afro-senusal naptual glamour that broadens the very concept of beauty and gives voice to the rich, textured and soulful environment that nurtures it. The online community is the comprehensive nexus for ideas on the influences of Afrocentricity in art, culture, sexuality, politics, music, family…life. And this is just a taste of all of the delicious fruits the Garden has to offer. Why don't you step into the Garden with us and take a bite!
