, which she leaked on her website (album drops March 30th)Happy B(earth)Day Erykah Badu
Today is Erykah Badu's birthday. In observation of such, I will be playing her music here at the res all day! Not that much of a big deal, since I bump her music on the regular anyways, since as most of my people know, Erykah is my favorite vocalist by far. While I will not go so far as to say I KNOW her, I have met her several times and always found her to be a cool lady. I could go on (and on, and on and on), but these comics will not draw themselves, so click here for more of my shameless Baduism.
if by some chance you're reading this, Have a great day Erykah! We love you. patiently waiting on New Amerykah pt 2.holla!

Bonus! Jump Up in the Air and Stay There by mother Badu f/Birdman Junior
Weekly Character Design #3
this joint was heavily inspired by the Erykah Badu song Jump Up in the Air (and Stay There)
The character is called Amazing Grace, and she is a pre-civil war slave who spontaneously transported herself through time, gaining access to cosmic powers that she uses to fight against modern day slavery and injustice.

Video, Vocalist of the Year
Honey by Erykah Badu, 2008 ghettoManga Video of the Year
everybody knows who MY favorite singer is... when i opened up the ghettoManga Awards this Year to be voted on by readers, i was surprised to see that fans were feeling me... 
the lady who brought soul back, the often immitated but never replicated Erykah Badu walked away with the Vocalist of the Year Award, as well as the Video of the Year Award for Honey, off her super-fresh 2008 joint, New Amerykah, Pt. 1: 4th World War
holla!

Emcee of the Year
Emcee (or M.C. if you prefer) of the Year is a spitting Award, and this year's winner is Jay Electronica. who knows why other people voted for him, but i nominated him because he is quite frankly one of the most exciting new Emcees out there. reminiscent of a young Nas or Pharoahe Monch, Jay has been showing up on mix ceedees and viral videos a lot lately, so hopefully that means he's gonna blow up. if not, don't be surprised... Jay loves releasing tracks straight to the public via hipHop forums and websites. Jay's girlfriend/babymama/label boss Erykah Badu has questioned whether the New Orleans native will ever release, in her words, "actual albums", but that's on him... we'll enjoy the free music until he does...-ghettoManga.com
