Yasiin Bey, the rapper once known as Mos Def, and top producer The Alchemist have just dropped their new album “FORENSICS.” It’s out now, and people are already talking about how great it is. The duo, who call themselves Forensics, released the album today after months of hype.
This project started back in 2023 when the two artists teamed up in Los Angeles. They gave fans a sneak peek with a live show in Paris on January 25, 2025, and then a big online stream on Bandcamp on February 7. Now, the full album is here, with 8 to 10 tracks that mix Yasiin Bey’s smooth rapping and singing with The Alchemist’s killer beats. No guest artists are on this one—it’s all about their chemistry.
“Forensics” is special because it’s not on regular streaming sites yet. You can only get it through Bandcamp right now, with a vinyl version coming soon. The album’s artwork, called “The Weight of an Ant,” was made by artist Anuar Khalifi, and it’s got a cool, thoughtful vibe. Fans on social media say tracks like “Kijani” (from an earlier live show) and others feel fresh but still classic, with Bey’s clever words and The Alchemist’s unique sound.
