Janelle Monae: Here to save the world



Janelle Monáe was born in Kansas City, Kansas, moved to New York to pursue a career in the theatre at the American Musical Academy. Her original plan of life on the stages of Broadway changed and she decided to step into her love for music.

After moving to Atlanta, Ga, Monae met OutKast's Big Boi. She continued to down her own musical and founded the Wondaland Arts Society, a group of artists like herself. from there she would go on to make some appearances on the silverscreen in "Idlewild", she accompanied in the songs "Call The Law" and "In Your Dreams."

In the middle of 2007, Monáe was on her way to release,Metropolis, her first solo album. Her concept was to have a four suites or four part album, and it was to be released to the public via website and mp3 download sites, but when she signed to Bad Boy Records in late 2007, her plans took an about face. "Metropolis: The Chase Suite(Special Edition) debuted on August 12, 2008. Monae's music went over quite well with critics and fans.

Metropolis Suites II and III where supposed to drop in January of this year, but for some reason pushed back. But even with the hold on her music she received a Grammy nomination in the slot of Best Urban/Alternative Performance for her song "Many Moons". Monae is touring with NO DOUBT this summer.

clearly there's no stopping this young woman from her path to musical fame. kudos to you MS Monae for you lively performances, creative abilities, hoping to hear much more music from you.

DJ A TRAK for KIDROBOT



DJ A TRAK has decided unlike most dj's who endorse certain clothing lines and even tea parlors to team up with KIDROBOT and DUST LA ROCK to create the "Grateful Bear" an eight inch vinyl figurine,a polar bear dripping with a mythical sense of cool,a pair of sunglasses donning the top of his head, fish in the back pocket, and a square on his tongue that could either be a listerine strip or lsd, who knows? and quite frankly who cares. the bear is so dope. its on sale at kidrobot.com for a low fifty bones, or fish(or whatever it is the cool and hip kids say these days). check it OUT!!!

say what you will, but miss can dress



yesterday Beyonce's tour lead her to my home town. she was set to perform at the united center. but before any of those activities she spoke out against hunger with the Hamburger Helper's Helping Hand. who ever knew that anti hunger speeches could be done so fashionably? looks like she mastered the speech in a safari inspired tan shirt and matching bubble elastic hemmed capri, with larged faux jeweled belt, and black pump. way to fight hunger mrs. knowles, my hat's off to you.
