For his Karena Evans-directed ‘Nice For What’ video, Drake enlisted a host of powerful women – basically all your favourite women in the entertainment industry. You have to watch the video just to see who’s featured! Oh yeah, the song is pretty good too. 😛
Lauryn Hill dropped her latest track ‘Rebel’ earlier this month, which rejuvenated the song ‘Rebel/I Find It Hard to Say’ from her legendary MTV Unplugged set back in 2002. She recently stopped by the Charlie Rose show to perform the powerful new song, backed by a full band and brass ensemble.
Of all things to happen, I didn’t think this collaboration would come about, but it has.

After Lauryn Hill couldn’t make it to a show she had scheduled in Lagos, Nigeria this past weekend, she issued an online apology – but not in the way you would think.
You see, her video apology included Hill performing her The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill single ‘Doo Wop (That Thing).’
And trust me, when I say, she’s still got it.
I wish I had known about San Fran’s Mikos Da Gawd sooner, because clearly I’ve been missing out on a great producer.
His new release (and my first introduction to him), remixing Lauryn Hill’s first single ‘Doo Wop (That Thing)’ from her 1998 debut album ‘The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill’, is funky, funky, FUNKY.
Get onto it!
