[ERYKAH BADU: THE RELEASE]

Midnight at Bills, Records and Tapes MySpacers traded in print outs of their profile for tickets to the EXCLUSIVE MySpace Release Show with Erykah the following day at House of Blues...

Tuesday : 2.25.08
Rightfully titled as a "jam session," Erykah graced the stage with almost everyone who appears on her new record. Producers Sa-Ra and 9th Wonder flew all the way in just to say a hello to the crowd. Questlove and Karriem Riggins as a drumming team was almost too awesome to bare.

In "Release" theme, she only performed songs off the new record, stopping only to introduce new artists she loved like Doyle, and for the one and only Dave Chapelle who lightened the crowd screaming, "I'm Alive!" Pharoahe Monch, well suited and booted for the night joined in for a few verses of "Simon Says" with a special B-Day shoutout.

The packed Dallas crowd was happy to celebrate the birth of her self proclaimed "Opus."
