Tuesday night, I had the opportunity to be a part of a lecture held by Red Bull Music Academy at the Brooklyn Museum with one of my all time favorite tastemakers, Miss Erykah Badu. Her music, lyrics, style, message everything has been a constant inspiration for me ever since my mom had Baduizm ('97) On & On in our house growing up. Her energy & aesthetic is just too dope. As this woman breathes, she creates. She said it best, "I gravitate toward artists I believe," and Badu is the truth.
