Big Boi continues to make dope music, but I think we can all agree that we’d rather hear him rhyme with Andre than Too Short and Gucci.
Erykah Badu linked up with OKP and the homies Tunj and GregTheDude to talk about her inspirations, her live performance, and her music. She also talks briefly about her next album, including plans for a Bilal/Andre 3000 duet!?!?! Chyea.
Even though this song is pretty old, it looks like they’re finally putting it out officially and aiming for big things with the video. LOL @ Kanye in this (as with pretty much everything, dude is hilarious). It was a good choice not to let anyone rap after Dre too. I’m not sure why anyone even rhymes on any song he blesses.

The man, the myth, the John Legend, called into Sound Session this week to talk all about his upcoming Evolver album. With D’Angelo on his seemingly endless sabbatical, I think John is officially my favorite R&B singer, so it was an honor to have him on the show for a second time. He dropped back to back classic LP’s (garnering 5 Grammy Awards in the process) and I don’t think there’s another singer making such consistently exceptional music. If Evolver‘s lead single, “Green Light” with Andre 3000, is any indication, it looks like he’s got another classic on his hands.
We discussed the direction of the project, what it’s like working with Kanye West, his involvement in Barack Obama’s campaign, his own charity work, future projects, and more. I’ll be airing portions of the interview on tonight’s show, but you can check out the full conversation here:

Be on the lookout for the “Green Light” video dropping in the next few weeks, and I don’t even need to tell y’all to cop Evolver later this year…

This joint was all over the web today, and it’s easily the hottest track of the week. Two of the best artists in their respective genres collaborating = instant classic.
