Solange has released another clip on her social media account. In the caption, she wrote “callll meeee 281-330-8004,” which is in reference to the phone number Mike Jones used to suggest people to dial out back in the day. She has also released the track list for the album which is made up of 19 songs.
Neelam Hakeem just dropped the visuals for her empowerment track, “I’ll Be The King,” and she made sure to include a special guest at the end of the song.
In the newly released video, the hijabi emcee brings out a regal Erykah Badu in a special cameo at the end of the song. In the scene, Badu sits on in a literal throne with Hakeem nestled by her knees.
At one point, the Los Angeles-based rapper lays her head on the “Next Lifetime” singer’s lap. The image appears to be an acknowledgment that Neelam is sitting at the knees of other female hip-hop greats, like Badu, who have come before her.
Although Badu has shared video clips of Neelam’s talent to her fans before, the duo first shared a stage during the female cypher at the 2018 BET Hip Hop Awards, which aired earlier this month.
With Badu at the turntables, Hakeem freestyled to the beat alongside the likes of Bri Steves, Sharaya J, and Chika.
Check out the video for “I’ll Be The King” below.

Erykah Badu set the Neo-Soul music scene on fire in 1996 and got things on and popping. Since that time her voice as an artist has grown along with the respect she’s gained as a woman. Erykah gave birth to a sound that is so unique to her, yet so conscious and so relevant (ie :why my instagram name being voyage_to_baduizm) She’s a woman who is not ashamed of her truth, nor is she afraid to share it.
I’ve had the pleasure of learning many things about the Queen of Neo-Soul. Her willingness to share her truth in a raw and uncut fashion is yet another reason why we can’t get enough of Erykah Badu, a.k.a Fat Belly Bella, a.ka. DJ Low-Down Loretta Brown…we could keep going! I ❤❤❤ and Adore this Woman. Erykah Badu is so Icon and thats why she’s my idol 👑
SOME THINGS WE HAVE LEARNED FROM HER MUSIC:
1. She likes being kissed on the neck.( Kiss My Neck).
2. We know she believes in the after life. (Next Lifetime)
3. She has no problem giving a fool the boot. (Tyrone)
4. She is the Original Trap Queen. (Danger) & (Other Side if the Game)
5. Being with her is a life changing experience (Fall In Love… Your Funeral)
6. Every now and again she needs some me time. (Window Seat)
7. She can make you put your phone down. (Phone Down)
8. She DONT want your negro (Booty)
