Let's begin.

So I think all and all this product has been in the making for some time now. I'm glad we (myself and Bryan) finally got off our asses and enter the infinite sphere of bloggerdom. Cheers!!!.. to a long and succesful life here at the ODD COUPLE.



With that said, let us begin.

When was the last time you anxiously awaited the release of an album. And when it finally dropped you picked it up from your favorite music spot and took it straight home and listened it through and through. Well the last time that happened for me was for part 1 of Erykah Badu's album New Amerykah. Due to the birth of her 3rd child with Jay Electronica, part 2, entitled "Return of the Ankh" was postponed multiple times. So needless to say I was teased for 2 years with prospected release dates that never came to fruition. It was kinda tortuous waiting for the fallow up of what I consider one of the best albums of the past 5 years. Well the wait is almost over. New Amerykah Part 2 Return of the Ankh is set for a March 30th release, and you can bet that day Erykah and I are gonna have a long awaited date together!
This is the first single, Jump up in the Air (and stay there) is pretty sublime, and yes features Weezy. This track was supposedly set to have something like 9 or more guest MCs on it. Instead we get one kinda lack luster performance from Lil Wayne. The rumor of this supposed plethura of MCs had everybody and their tias making lists of a neo-soul A list of MCs to accompany Ms. Badu on her first single. Well it didn't happen, but it doesn't take away anything from a bad ass track. -nick
