Erykah Badu Beyond The Stage

Erykah is a proud mother of 3 beautiful children who are truly blessings to our universe. She strives hard to create and maintain the balance between family life, business and taking the time to give back to our community in a major way. She is the founder of Beautiful Love Incorporated Non Profit Development (B.L.I.N.D. 501c3) centralized in Dallas. This organization is geared towards community- driven development for our inner city youth through music, dance, theater and visual arts. She has made a positive impact on a lot of lives by becoming the change that she desires and displays through her vision fueled by passion. She is truly an iconic light for us because she is one of the few artists who are focused on where they are and looking forward to where they’re going, yet never forgetting to remember where they came from.

"Soldier" speaks about a people with everyday struggles in America, which has agreeing that America needs to change. "The Cell" follows up as the next song, the chorus says "Brenda done died with no name, nickel bag coke to the brain, will they ever find the vaccine?, shifty-damn-damn-baby-bang, rich man got the double barrell, po man got his back to the door.., code white stand for trouble.., shots from the po-po,". "Twinkle" started with a rhyme from old ancient times, which is followed up with "Master Teacher". The track that says, "I'll stay woke until the sun rise". "That Hump" is where Erykah says, "I just want to fly/far away/far away..". "Telephone" is an amazing song inspired by a story told to Erykah by, "Ma Dukes" Yancey on the day Dilla transitioned.
