R&B Queen Erykah Badu's Egyptian Mystiquenew
Mystical, mysterious Dallas native Erykah Badu is one of the leading ladies of neo-soul, and she reached full cosmic fruition with last year's politically charged, simmeringly funky New Amerykah Vol. 1: Fourth World War. With Vol. 2 due this spring, she broke it down from her house in South Dallas last week.

What's even more impressive is the roster of men Badu has called on to produce the album with her. It's a dream team of contemporary progressive black artists, the best possible individuals she could've called on to assist her in this project.
