When it rains it pours. Just an hour after the internets was abuzz about a new "Teflon Don" leak, the lush "Aston Martin Music", another cut off Ricky Ross' upcoming life of luxury album, "Maybach Music III" quickly followed. Since Ross is a man of large appetites, it only makes sense to have way more Bawse than you can digest in one meal. Let's explore. Listen and download...
First off, I want to applaud Vibe Magazine for actually putting Erykah Badu on the cover. They kinda killed it by making it a double cover with Nicki Minaj, but at least they gave Ms. Badu her props.
Erkyah Badu has always been an artist for the people, and at last night's release party for her "New Amerykah Part Two: Return of the Ankh" she proved it in more ways than one. With the audience more than adequately hyped and a full band including a harp player backing her up, Erkyah finally stepped on stage and immediately proceeded to launch into a strikingly dope rendition of "The Healer" off "New Amerykah Part One".

This shouldn't surprise anyone who's followed the woman's music closely, but the video for Erykah Badu's new single "Window Seat" is just, well, crazy. In a good way, I think, but crazy, cause, well....you know what? You're just going to have to watch it. And I know it starts out a little slow, but keep watching until the end. We'll resume discussion after the video. Watch...
I'm still a little jacked up over last night's Super Bowl but when Erykah Badu's new single "Window Seat" rolled across my headphones this morning I suddenly felt mellower than Eminem after a bottle of Valium and Ambien, so I figured I'd share the mellowed out love in case you find yourself in a stressful situation today (like, I don't know, a job) and are in the need of some sonic relaxation.

Erykah Badu's so strange she makes Lil Wayne look like Bryant Gumble, so when the two get together on a track you know the the result's going to be a bigger trip than watching Cirque do Soleil on acid. Originally leaked in super crappy quality form, we've finally been blessed with the official version of Erykah and Weezy's "Jump Up in the Air (Stay There)", a slowly unwinding track featuring an old school schizophrenic verse from Wayne, complete with "watch Uranus" references.
