Umi Says is my favorite song off Mos Def's "Black on Both Sides." It was an honor to re-interpert this classic with my mother, in a video dedicated to my "Umi" - Queen Mother Frances Pierce (July 28 1928 - March 29, 2011).
From The Beast and Nnenna Freelon's collaborative album Freedom Suite (DOWNLOAD FREE: thebeast.bandcamp.com/album/freedom-suite), hosted by 9th Wonder - check out our arrangement of Umi Says.
