5 Upcoming Urban Musicians Who Will Rule 1998 And Beyond

2. Erykah Badu

She is one of neo-soul€™s finest €“ Erykah Badu is the modern day Billie Holiday. Her first studio album €œBaduizm€ was released last year and I fell head over heels in love with it as soon as I heard it €“ it€™s so soulful and deep. It was no surprise that the LP reached #1 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and #2 on the Billboard 200. The album received much critical acclaim. The lead single from €œBaduizm€ €œOn And On€ also performed very well in the UK and US. Badu is romantically involved with André 3000 from Outkast and last year she had a child with him named Seven. I really hope that Erykah€™s career in neo-soul goes €œOn And On."
