The queen of hiatuses has finally laid off the ganja for a hot minute to finalize the release date of her 6th efforts and second installation of her New Amerykah serious. New Amerykah, Part II: Return of the Ankh is now set to be released February 23rd, 2010. This is what Erykah Bady had to say about this: “I called it Part II: The Return of the Ankh because this album is the sister of the left side of my brain — it is the right side,” Badu explained during a listening session this week at New York City’s Chung King Studios. “‘Part I was the left side of my thoughts — it was more socially political and my thought process was more analytical. This time there wasn’t anything to be concerned with — the album is more emotional and flowy and talks about feelings. It reminds of the days of Baduizm — this is just about beats and rhymes in a cipher.”
Also, she threatened: “If anything leaks, I won’t put out this album,” she said about potential future leaks. “I worked too hard for that to happen. Let a bitch make some money some kind of way.”

She doing a lot of work with self-image and female objectification and we are glad she is embarking on something with a message, not that what she was doing previously wasn’t “with a message” but this time it’s more directed at a specific subject. She also has a comedy music album that will feature her parents. We can’t wait to watch both.

Cazwell is pushing the envelope in this video by doing a tranny meets gay boy love story concept with a cameo by Amanda LePore. The song’s not too bad from him, but the video is fun. Run, tranny, run!
He’s opting for the James Dean look for this one and straying away from glam. This is his second single from his debut album For Your Entertainment. It’s very apt to release now with the whole ABC hoopla.
