Hey, everyone listening to the podcast. This is Ari Melbert, and we have a bonus podcast for you.

Some of you guys who listen say you like it when we show and have extra things that weren't on the program, and here we go.

I'm going to take you inside Brooklyn Museum, where I sit down with Brooklyn's own Yassim Bay to explore his new art exhibit in the interview, which was much longer than what we got to air on TV. So you're about to hear the whole full thing. Yassine discusses some of his political lyrics. He actually then did an impromptu performance of one of them on the spot, which for me was really cool. He also talks about which artists he's listening to right now, some living, some deceased. All of them really interesting names, If like me, you love getting new. Music tips, and he talks about his bond with Dave Chappelle. After this new interview, you're also going to hear our interview then with Dave Chappelle when he appeared on the beat with Civil Rights Leader Ben Jealous. And after that, if you keep listening, you're going to hear my breakdown of how Dave Chappelle and other comedians' work applies to our politics in the Trump era today. We've put this all together for you as a bonus podcast. As always, thanks for listening to The Beat with Ari Melbert. Welcome to The Beat. We are coming to you from Brooklyn, New York at the Brooklyn Museum with Yassine Bay. Thanks for sitting down with me.

Oh, it's how I am, man.

I'm great.

I'm a big fan.

I just walked through your new work.

Tell us about it.

This installation is of a set of artworks and recording

called Negus. It's a blend of new musical compositions,

a newly released musical compositions,

as well as visual arts, some of my own,

others that have done in collaboration.

Myself and Jose Paula, Julie Marais, too, were very grateful

to have a part of the show.

The aim was to create an experience similar to opera or theater, utilizing technology,

but also creating a space where there was a focus listening experience,

not just a hearing experience.

This is different.

This is you saying we're doing something that's like high art,

or you go in there, this is not on Spotify, right?

This is not out even at a record store.
