CHINAH BLAC'S NEW VIDEO "GET AWAY"

If you do not know of ChinahBlac, you need to. She is a very good friend of mine. When she is not singing backgrounds for my Erykah Badu, she is doing her own thing. And doing it well. Witness it for yourself right here with her new video, shot and directed by my homie, W. Ellington Felton. Hey there's even a cameo by yours truly...

RIP Mr. Ben from Ben's Chili Bowl

While soundchecking for my show tonight at the Jazz Cafe, I received some

disheartening news. Mr Ben from Ben's Chili Bowl passed away. Ben's Chili

Bowl has been my favorite place to eat in DC for many years now. Not only

can I not leave the district without a couple of turkey burgers in my belly, for

years now they have played my music and promoted my shows.

Mr Ben's son as well as many of the workers and I have become good friends. If you have my dvd you've seen the storefront during the intro. We put it there because when I think of

the things I love about DC, Ben's Chili Bowl is one of the things that come to

mind.

So I just want to personally thank Mr. Ben for bringing so much joy to so many

people. And our thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family.
