Bahamadia

Bahamadia is synonymous with True School Hip Hop. From her beginnings as a protégé of Guru and DJ Premier to her affiliations with the Roots, Talib Kweli, Vikter Duplaix, Slum Village and countless others, she has consistently been involved in hip hop with a jazz and soulful vibe. Bahamadia is known for her subdued monotone delivery and her socially conscious lyrics. Her new album is set for release this year and from the previews at her Myspace, it looks like it is going to be a scorcher.

From the album B.B. Queen:
Common Wealth (Cheap Chicks) [mp3]
One-4-Teen (Funky for You) [mp3]

From the album Kollage:
UKNOWHOWWEDU [mp3]

As a bonus here are two tracks that include her as a guest:
Sylk 130 "The Reason" [Playa Duplaix Remix] [mp3]
Roni Size "New Forms" [mp3]
