Erykah Badu - Congralutions

Congralutions to Erykah Badu for her 14th Years in the music industry. The journey all started with Ms. Badu introducing herself on the album, Funky Cousins. She later released her own album, Baduizm, which went number one and became 5X Platinum Worldwide. The album featured some of best songs like the number hit "On & On", the soul ballad "Next Lifetime", "Otherside of the Game", "Apple Tree", and "Sometimes". In late 1997, she released the live edition of "Baduizm" featuring the hit single "Tyrone" and some of the other artists songs like The Mary Jane Girls' "All Night Long", and Chaka Khan's "Stay". In 2000, Erykah returned with her third album, Mama's Gun, which featured yet again another number hit "Bag Lady". Three year later in 2003, she released "Worldwide Underground" which featured the hip hop neo soul song "Back In The Day". She took a break after much sucess but returned in 2006, Badu. Later in 2007, Erykah re-released her album, Baduizm, which featured a bonus disc full of live version of the original album's songs. Soon after, the smash single "Honey" hit radio stations. The songs built a buzz for the new album "New Amerykah Pt. 1 (4th World War)". The album featured three singles, "Honey", "Soldier", and "The Healer". Now Erykah plans to release a series of album coming soon in the next few months. But she also has nicknames that people refer to her as: "Madula Oblengota", "Sara Bellum", "Lowdown Loretta Brown", "Maria Mexico", "Analog Girl In The Digital World", "Queen of the Digital Underground", "Highpriestess of Soul", "Erykah Free", "Annie", "Erica Wright". So if you see these titles or names, know that it's Erykah Badu.
