The mystery heightens. Here's new music from emerging lyrical brightness Y.O.D. also known as The Guy People Can't Tell Is Nas Or Not.

This interpolation of "The Message" gives a clearer view of him as a distinct artist, even with the God's Son flow hanging all over his body. Check it after the jump.
