Stop the presses! Stop the presses! The artist formally known as Mos Def—who used to rap—is doing a stand-up comedy set in Montreal tonight. If you're still in town for OVO Fest and are willing to drive about four hours east of Toronto to scalp tickets, you can check his sold out stand-up debut at the Phi Centre. The set is titled Happy Birthday! Shut Up and Canadian artist Kaytranada will be providing the sounds. The flyer suggests Yasiin will be touching on topics such as Meek and Drake, Mars colonization, and everything else. Bey has experience with comedy during his stints on the late, great Chappelle's Show. He was in town for Montreal's Osheaga Festival where Kendrick Lamarbrought him out for a surprise performance. You can get more info here. Hopefully this'll get his creative juices going and finally gives us some new music. If you're having doubts about his comedic timing, revisit the Chappelle's Show clip below:
