Erykah Badu New Amerykah, Part One (4th World War) 2LP
Universal Motown format: 2LP lab price: $13.00 available: restocking item #: hh-3397	quick audio picks: 1 2 3 4 5 6 Man, I am so excited for this shit! New Erykah!! Ak Boogs here at the Lab was telling me that producers have been sending her beats steadily over the past couple of years being like, "Make us another album Erykah! We got... expand review beats for you!" Finally, she said yes and hence - New Amerykah (Part One). She comes a little different on this one than her last albums, with almost a seventies soundtrack type of feel. Like it could stand next to Black Caesar or something. But it's still got that sweet, jazzy, soulful and heartfelt Erykah that we all know and love. With production from Madlib, 9th Wonder, ?uestlove and SA-RA among others, it goes everywhere from that real power to the people type anthem shit, to insightful rnb. My picks on this one are "Soldier(1)" and "Me(2)" just cuz they are too pretty and have that smooth sound that reminds me why I love her so much. Madlib's "The Healer(3)" is another banger, has that new NEW soul kinda sound and I'm feeling it. Highly Recommended. -RikRok

Santogold Creator / L.E.S. Artistes 12"
Downtown format: 12" lab price: $7.00 available: restocking item #: lp-3543	quick audio picks: 1 2 Double A-sider from Mz. Santi White, melting faces and hearts worldwide, collaborating with many (Spank Rock, Ronson, Lily Allen), scooping up all ex-M.I.A. fans in her path. "Creator(1)" is a squelchy heater with some definite Maya vibes - maybe 'cause it's produced... expand review by the one and only Switch! (Co-produced by the best-coifed producer in the world, FreQ Nasty.) "L.E.S. Artistes(2)" goes in a rockier midtempo direction; sounds like something she'd write for Gwen Stefani or Ashlee Simpson, but with Santi on the vocals it's way more palatable. Considering these tracks have been "around" for a minute, Downtown coulda tossed us some remixes or at the instrumentals / acapellas, but it's cool to have them on wax anyway. Cool pic sleeve designed by Isabelle Lumpkin. -Larri Byrd
