I rarely admit to being a stan to any artist, but for Erykah Badu – I wear my stripes proudly. So naturally I was crazy excited to hear she would be dropping a new track via her website. “Jump In the Air and Stay There” features Lil’ Wayne & Bilal and is version one of…TEN! Each featuring a different rapper *salivates*.
Download: Erykah Badu Feat Lil’ Wayne & Bilal – “Jump In The Air and Stay There”
Love. Love. Love. Love. Love this. As I said, I’m a fan of Ms Badu’s – I enjoy her experiments, as well as her more ‘traditional’ neo-soul stuff. This I believe falls into the former category. So, I’m happy. Lil’ Wayne’s verse was pretty hot too – didn’t know what to expect with him on an Erykah record – but it works. Bilal as ever provides those soulful ad-libs. All rounder, this.
New Amerykah Part 2: Return of the Ankh drops March 30th (Maybe?).
