Brooklyn rapper Yasiin Bey has been relatively quiet since releasing the excellent The Ecstatic in 2009. He's dropped tracks here and there, but a new album remains less than a dot on the horizon.

In the meantime, Bey has recorded a video for the latest installment in Louis Vuitton's "Greatest Words" series: an interpretation of Muhammad Ali's famous ""Float like a butterfly" poem, spoken from an empty, dimly-lit boxing ring. Watch below via Okayplayer. His two previous installments, "Dream" and "Word," are after "Float."
