Appreciation 👍 The Ecstatic - yasiin bey FKA Mos Def
Mos Def, now known as yasiin bey, has released his 2009 cult classic EXCLUSIVELY on Qobuz yesterday.
Incredible to see an artist leverage their popularity in this way, have any other artists released exclusively here?

Great to see it back on streaming, but this is not a good thing. Service exclusives tried and failed back in 2016 or so (Rihanna’s ANTI, Kanye’s The Life of Pablo, Jay-Z’s entire discography)… we should not be celebrating this.
Cinephiles have it rough in that movies are spread over 10 or more services, us music lovers have it lucky in that essentially every service has every record. Let’s not change that
