Negus was recorded in London in 2015, prior to the rapper’s alleged retirement. Therefore, he wanted to release the album in a space “where the listeners had to actually focus on the music.” Attendees were even urged to lock their phones at the door before the album began. “Yasiin Bey is very aware of society’s inability to focus on anything because of technology,” she wrote. One New York-based writer lucky enough to be present at the event explained the reason for Bey’s discreet release. As the tweet clarifies, the album is not available for purchase or streaming. Instead, Bey decided to play his album as an art installation in Art Basel Hong Kong. The album wasn’t debuted at an album release party or leaked on the internet, as is the current norm.
However, the album release comes with a catch.
