Yasiin Bey, formerly known as the rapper Mos Def, who is a proud Muslim weighed in on Paris and his thoughts on ISIS. Check out some of what he had to say and take a listen to the entire interview below.

“None of this stuff is separated. Everything from Tamir Rice to Paris shootings to what’s happening to the students in the University of Missouri…to what I’ve been experiencing in the negative in South Africa. It’s all connected. It’s all the same thing.
