Yasiin Bey (f/k/a Mos Def) is joining forces with Mannie Fresh for a new project titled OMFGOD.
OMFGODbknola.com is the website dedicated to the project, and it highlights the connection between Brooklyn’s Bey and New Orleans’ Mannie Fresh.
So far, two clips of the emcee and producer working together in the studio have emerged.
The first clip includes footage of Bey and Mannie vibing out to some of the latter’s production, with the former recording a verse:

In the second clip, an interview from 2007 is included in which Yasiin Bey exlained why he wanted to work with Mannie Fresh. “I’ve always been a big fan of Mannie Fresh because I think his sound represents a modern version of that New Orleans Brass thing. …I think it’s kind of genius.”

I’m already a fan. This is the kind of things I like to see happening. A dope producer and a dope MC. Very original collaboration.
i wouldn’t have ever imagined these two together, but man i’m glad they can get togeher and make it happen…
this is something i would have never imagined back in 1998/1999
horrible combination
haaa
prbably this will be the most interesting album of the year. great collabo. can’t wait
it ain gon be horrible because mannie gonna have to bring his best for mos’ lyrics thats whats gonna make it hot because mannie gotta few hot beats out there ima say he better wit out cash money
g shit, this’ll come out rite before his collab wit jay elec and spitta… lol yea nice vision but i doubt this will ever see market
Its alright, but they need to get Lex Luger to do the beats – now that would be a killer collaboration, Mannie Fresh is washed up, Lex Luger and T-Minus are the best producers in the rap game right now.
You are just a dick rider! You ride the dick of who ever is hot. Those beats I heard were nice son!
isn’t mannie fresh known for southern bounce and not hip hop?
Mos Def a junkie with EIGHT kids he doesn’t see what the fuck I listen to this fool for
he a junkie? what he addicted to? does he even smoke weed? and how do u know he got 8 kids or if he even c them? u sound bitter, get off dat haterade.
I like it. Two humble, mature, intelligent grown men coming together for a collab nobody saw coming. This should be funky as hell.
Mos Def is just an old nigga from New York. yeah, New York. we hate New York. Lil Wayne hates it, so we hate it too. and Mannie is an unloyal bitch. boing beats. we dont need u anymore old niggas. YMCMB we da best. swag
Don’t you ever get tired of this pointless persona you post under everyday? You’re a complete fag
Die slow you dickrider!
the So Icy Fag strikes again. Get off Waynes dick u bitch. MOS DEF= REAL RAP MUSIC, not that candy rap shit lil kids and girls listen to.
SO ICY FAG IS JUST ANOTHER BITCH NIGGSA WHO FOLLOWS THE CROWD OR WHATEVER TREND THEY PUT OUT THERE, JUST LIKE A SHEEP HE CANT THINK FOR HIMSELF.
YOU THE TRU MEANING OF BITCH NIGGA LOL
obvious troll if I ever saw one
these are two highly sklled artist who do it for the love of the music (moement). hip hop aint regional its worldwide..
Lil Wayne.. sucked juve’s dick to learn how to flow,tongue kissed Baby or front money, ate Drake’s ass to learn how to sing/rap,..Now he wants some skater dick until he coghs up blood, no gang…
Yeah lil wayne got throatfucked by Baby and thats how he got his signature squeeky voice.
AWWWWWW SHIT!!!! Call Chiquita, cause this gonna be banannas!
AFTER DEPARTURE FROM CASH MONEY, MANNIE FRESH LITTLE BIT FELL OFF, BUT HE IS STILL ONE OF THE GREATEST HIP HOP PRODUCERS EVER…
BUT ONLY THING I DON’T GET IS WHY IS HE WASTING TIME WITH THAT FLOP BOY, MOS DEF IS WACK AND MANNIE DESERVES BETTER MCS TO HOP ON HIS BEATS
Da fuk u talkin about nigga? Mos def is years ahead of mannie. Did Mannie hav one track on Illmatic any of biggie shit or any of the time tested all time clasics? No.
Dumb ass nigga takin out ya ass, Dont know shit about hip hop
lol and Mos Def aint a Mc stupid ass nigga, yeah hes dropped a few verses in the past for fun but he is a Producer. Him and Premo a much much more talented and known producer than mannie will ever be.
Dont get me wrong I do like mannie and he is good but not better than Mos Def.
U make me laugh nigga.
^^ I think u gettin Mos Def Mixed up with Pete Rock homie.
(puts foot in mouth) Shit sorry YEBO, smokin on on too much off this good im not even thinking straight LOL. Harlem is right, yeah im mixin up the two (dunno how) like I said im too fucked up right now. Mos def aint all that bad of an Mc tho
Ha good think I said something before you went any further with that rant homie. I agree Mos Def aint all that bad, Mathamatics is straight dope.
Btw, that long ass beard on Yasiin in the above vids a bit of a giveaway it aint pete , no?
diddnt even look at the videos yet dude (puts down the blunt).
CLASSICS? ALL CASH MONEY ALBUMS HE WAS ON, TRILLA, GUCCI MANE’S ALBUM, BUN B’S TRILL, UGK, TIP ALBUMS, YOUNG JEEZY’S DEBUT ALBUM, ALL CLASSICS, YOU DUMBASSES. I RESPECT ILLMATIC, BUT IT WAS A YEARS BEFORE MANNIE FRESH WAS RELEVANT AS A PRODUCER… AND BIGGIE’S SHIT IS WACK SO IT AIN’T EVEN IMPORTANT HE WASN’T ON THAT.
I’M PRETTY SURE IF BIGGIE WAS ALIVE, HE WOULD WORK WITH MANNIE FRESH, LEX LUGER, DRUMMA BOY, THE RUNNERS AND NOT PEOPLE LIKE DJ “POP” PREMIER WHOSE BEATS SOUNDS ALL THE SAME AND LIKE THEY WERE MADE HUNDRED YEARS AGO. DJ PREMIER IS JOELL ORTIZ OF PRODUCING – ONE OF THE WORST OF ALL TIME (IF NOT THE WORST).
I’M SORRY, BUT THESE GUYS LIKE PREMIER OR MOS DEF ARE KILLING THE REAL HIP HOP, WHY YOU GIVE THEM RESPECT.
KILL YO SELF , GO BACK TO YOUR GAY PORN SIGHT AND STICK TO WHAT YOU KNOW CAUSE YOU DON’T KNOW SHIT ABOUT MUSIC FOR REAL. THEN ALL YOU TALK ABOUT IS WHO’S WACK. YOU HAVEN’T STATED ANYBODY WITH THE SAME LONGEVITY THAT’S BETTER BUT YET YOUR THE BIGGEST CRITIC. DO SOME HISTORY AND TAKE YOUR HOSTILE ASS SOMEWHERE AND MEDITATE . CAUSE YOUR ALLERGIC TO MUSICAL KNOWLEDGE…
diddnt even look at the videos yet dude (puts down the blunt)
straight fire – 2 OG’s doin they thing
Yasiin Bey is DOPE!
Whats the app that fresh is using to make the beat?
shiiiiiet can’t wait for this
Man all u dumb fucks with negative shit to say about Mos Def or Mannie Fresh need to just fuckin kill over… Mos Def is a poet, period. His flow is respected by all from Common to Jay-Z.. I bet your favorite rapper wouldn’t know a metaphor or simile even if he had a fuckin thesaurus. And his movie game ain’t gimmicked either How many of your favorite rapper/actors can actually act? Mos Def played various characters flawlessly. As far as Mannie Fresh go, he’s the Dr. Dre of the south period. Who you think BIRTH THE SNARE ROLL IN HIP-HOP USED BY EVERY ONE FROM DRUMMA BOY, LEX LUGER, TO SOUNDCLICK’S GOLDENBOY JOHNNY JULIANO. In fact, There would be no YMCMB without the ONLY PRODUCER ON THE LABEL… WHO SINGLE-HANDEDLY PRODUCED 95% OF CASH MONEY RECORDS DISCOGRAPHY INCLUDING THE CARTER 1 (WAYNE’S SWAN SONG) I dare anyone to challenge my post. Respect their ledgend.. Str8 outta Youngstown,Ohio . tell em Don Kody said it.
Word.
Manny made them niggas like you said fam,you know how many albums he did almost all of the production from B.G. Choppa City up until Carter 1 look at the cash money discography and you’ll understand. Only album he didn’t soley produce was Baller Blockin and he had a bass player that was funky too.
HAHAHA! This shit will be a BIG FLOP! Yasiin Gay aka Mos Def aka Old ass nigga aint even good, his shit dont got a single fuckin meaning! plus hes BORING! and fuck Mannie with his disloyal ass! He lefts us and we built YMCMB by ourselves. Wayne will KILL these niggas A$AP! Weezy is KIGN of HIP HOP!
YMCMB!
YOU ARE AN IDIOT
KIGN OF HIP HOP
“we built YMCMB by ourselves”
and who built everybodies career on cash money with his production and sound???
No mannie > no cash money > no YMCMB
Who the fuck is doing this tired ass shit??? Every article, song or whatever on here has a bunch of these fucking clowns doing this shit. With they lame as puns, from Laughterhouse, to Gay-Z, Yasiin Gay, Gayme..etc
OK, so you like Cash Money, go listen to them and shut the fuck up already. If you dont have anything relevant to contribute than go put a cock in your mouth and keep quiet already.
Either ur a Toll or a gaylord
Nigga you’re so far in the closet you’re sucking dick in Narnia.
How do you even pronounce KIGN? Like “kig-nin” or “kine”?
XDDDD LMFAO That nigga said you sucking dick in Narnia
Literally can’t wait for this…

Weezy is such a special man. I love that nigga. No homo. Its all love blood.
YMCMB!
This is music. Music is a universal language that is suppose to unite. As for Yasiin Bey, he signifies masculine energy, with the prefect balance of feminine energy. Yin/Yang. We all possess both. I appreciate his artistry and ginuiness. Great collabo.
