Painting That Ridicules S. Africa's President Is Defaced
The one and the only Erykah Badu is back on the music scene and readying the release of her latest album, 'New Amerkykah,' which is due to hit stores Feb 26 -- her birthday.
According to a rep for the neo-soul high priestess, she has has "enlisted some of the most talented, groundbreaking underground producers and engineers in the hip-hop game to support her breakthrough return, including Grammy Award winning producer 9th Wonder (Jay-Z, Nas, Mary J. Blige), Madlib, Mike "Chav" Chavarria and R&B singer Bilal."
The opus's first single is 'Honey,' which the Grammy Award winner described as "an old school track with some funk on it."
The music video (below) just hit the web this week – and it features reincarnations of some innovative artistic album covers of yore.
Can you name which famous pop music imagery Badu recreated in the video?
Have fun with it.
