Quick Notes

• Heads up for the fans of soulful songstress Erykah Badu. A few musical treats from the Dallas singer were spotted on the Okayplayer site. The drops include a short "video clip" from a PUMA sponsored Jam Session in Los Angeles and a new track ("Dirty Beauty") with group Sa-Ra (formerly signed to Kanye's record label ).
• Dallas rapper Big Hood Boss ("I Got It" w/ Lil Will & Tum Tum) has been busy on the promo grind. The rapper was in Atlanta rubbing elbows last week for the Ozone Birthday Bash with Souljah Boy, Lil Will, GS Boys, and other industry types. The bossman keeps trying to raise his profile as he also took part in a photo shoot with rapper Gucci Man.
