Tyler, the Creator is everywhere these days, propelling Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All to the top of the rap game thanks to infectious and unsettling singles like "Yonkers." Mos Def is obviously one of the many to have been inspired by the song's dark lyricism and thundering beat.

During a recent concert, Mos Def unleashed a verse, which he reportedly told the audience was intended to accompany the "Yonkers" beat. He spits this one a cappella, however, meaning that you'll have to imagine the beat in your head.

Watch the performance below.
