ALL MY FAVORITE HOMEGIRLS R BAAAAAACKKKKK...AND SOME NEW ONES!!!!
Nneka, Nigerian/German tell it like it T.I. IS sistah, is soon to drop her album, Concrete Jungle, next year. In the meantime, I've been dousing myself in her '08 release, No Longer At Ease. Peep the video for the pounding yet low-key protest track "Heartbeat", which takes you through the streets of her hometown, Lagos, Nigeria:
(not to mention, she's FREEKIN gorgeous.)
Her new new joint is "The Uncomfortable Truth", which really has me clawing for her next release:
And theennnnn...
Shareese Renee Ballard, aka RES, finally returned with some older and newer joints packaged in her FREE release Black.Girls.Rock. Honestly, I'd heard half of these songs back in '06, but they were nowhere to be found! If you missed who she even is (which is easy, her promotion SUCKED), she dropped the oh-so-severely slept on classic album How I Do back in '01. Because she was hard to pigeonhole--too hip-hop and soul to be rock, and vice versa, she slipped under the radar. But got DAMMIT, she's PHENOMENAL nonetheless. Go for the goal and hit the link for the album:

MOREOVER, much of her time has gone to teaming up with Talib Kweli and Canadian MC/Singer Graph Nobel for their trio, Idle Warship! This project is the dream mix of lyricism meets-Saturday night sloshing debauchery. I'm in love. Peep their new joint, Party Robot:
And last but certainly not least, my homegirl, Georgia Anne Muldrow is BACK with an album under her government name (the previous Patty Blingh/Dudley Perkins & Ms One albums also CRAZY) with Umsindo. Hellz to the YESSSSSSSSS. Y'all needa really keep ya eyes on shorty, she's the fucking greatest thing since Prince, playing ALL her own instruments, singing, emceeing...so full of goodness.
The neverlution has left the buildin when they step in. There may actually be some hope left...stay tuned!
