This is what everybody’s been waiting for all year. Sexy soulstress Erykah Badu is back with a brand new album entitled “New Amerykah pt. 2: Return of the Ankh” and it’s hella good. She really got us worried when that joint with Lil Wayne leaked, but thank god that isn’t on the album. When “Window Seat” leaked I knew this was going to be like old times. Probably the best Nu-Soul album I’ve heard in a while and even if she did cover Sylvia Striplin‘s “You Can’t Turn Me Away”…it’s all good. Miss Erykah can get away with stuff like that, because she drops songs like “Love” and “Fall In Love” on Return of the Ankh. Been a long time since I’ve bought an album, but this is a birthday present I wouldn’t mind getting. Is there anyone who’s still looking to buy me a gift? It was my birthday yesterday and I am quite a nice guy. I suggest you start supporting wonderful music like this and BUY yourself a copy whether it be on CD, vinyl or

Only eleven more days till the album drops and after having heard some snippets here and there, I can tell you this is going to be a winner. Come on people…only a couple more days before we can enjoy miss Erykah Badu‘s “New Amerykah pt. 2: Return of the Ankh” album. Check out the latest and final leak called “Incense” which was produced by Madlib.

After having heard the first leak of Erykah Badu‘s “Jump In The Air” with Lil Wayne, I wasn’t impressed at all. After having heard the second joint called “Window Seat” I was relieved as hell. Now here’s the Badu we’ve been feenin’ for. This one was produced by Badu and James Poyser and has Questlove on drums (who else?). Really looking forward to “New Amerykah Part 2″, which supposedly drops March 30th.

I know some of you heads have been waiting for this to drop and here it is. The instrumental album to Shafiq Husayn‘s “Shafiq En’ A-Free-Ka” album is now out on iTunes. Check out the instrumental to the song “All Dead” and be on the lookout for upcoming show dates as well as more music to come from Shafiq in 2010 (on Plug Research), including his work on Erykah Badu‘s upcoming album “New Amerykah Part 2″ (Return of the Ankh).
