MtvU Leaking Albums as a Stand For Darfur

"For the month of April and into May, more than a dozen artists – including Tapes ‘n Tapes, Dizzee Rascal, Tokyo Police Club and Santogold – will exclusively "pre-release" new albums on mtvU.com, with several more exclusively premiering new videos on the site.

Janelle Monáe - Metropolois Suite I: The Chase (07)

"Are we really livin or just walkin dead now..."
This is a "where the fuck have I been, Pop?" post.

Janelle Monáe

Signed by Diddy to Bad Boy Records...lets just hope she'll be his first success. Shes also the most recent member of the Outkast family as first seen in their video for Morris Brown off Idlewild.

This album is like 5th Element for your ears: Suite I of IV

Frankly, if shes not the cool... then I don't know what is!
