3 days ago, while in Paris, PinBoard had the distinct pleasure of meeting one of the most innovative and exciting artists around today. Erykah Badu’s style, creativity, vision and movement is unparalleled. And so, to have had the opportunity to not only see her live in Paris, but also to meet her, speak with her and gain insight into who she really is, as a person – was truly an honour.
I’ve seen Erykah Badu live many times, but her show in Paris topped them all. The location, the vibe, the excitement and her performance made it a truly special gig. One I won’t be forgetting in a hurry. Performing a vast selection of new and old material, spanning all her albums, Badu with all her might, sang “On & On”, “Didn’t Cha Know”, “Healer”, “Soldier”, “Orange Moon”, “Other side of the Game” & “Me”, ending perfectly with “The Light” and…”A Milli”. And shouts to all our Parisian readers out there: ya’ll sure know how to get down! The energy was palpable.
But it’s the randomness of all of this which still feels quite surreal. From discovering that day Erykah was playing Paris; to finding out that the only tickets left were €60 (a large chunk of our 4 day budget); deciding we’d try an alternative route i.e. the hookup; Sending a couple emails around; hearing back from a contact in Dallas, Texas informing us that we not only had tickets but also backstage passes; finding the venue (a minute outside of the centre of Paris); to realising that ‘backstage’ really meant an intimate Q&A with the lady herself! Er, surreal to say the least! Completely unprepared, we frusiouly tried to remain cool, calm and collected. After all, we were repping London hard that night! Haha!
We got a few solid questions in, recorded most of the session. The footage is dope, and the pictures we have are incredible. I’m planning to roll of all of this out, along side our Sean Paul interview and Marsha Ambrosius (video) interview in the coming week or so.
Trust me, you’re gonna love, love, love, love, love it!
Peace, Love & Erykah Badu

Yesterday/Lastnight (Sunday 5th July) was insane.
Jumping between Hyde Park/Wireless and Camden/Jazz Cafe was, er, interesting to say the least.
Wireless of course was off the chain for all types of reasons which I will go into on another post (coming soon), but Jazz Cafe and more specifically Marsha Ambrosius was stupendous.
I’ve waited a long, long, long time to catch this lady sing live. Never got a chance to see her during the Floetry days and while they were dope as a group, it was always Marsha’s voice that got me locked in. Her vocals are like no one else’s, soon as you hear it, you know it’s her. Soulful, yet so Hip Hop.
So yea, arrived at the Jazz Cafe for about 10pm, listened to a couple of UKSOULJAM’s warm up acts and waited for the headliner to arrive. Once she did the audience was 100% locked in. A mass of people who knew lyric-by-lyric, adlib-by-adlib, all eager to see this home grown star return to the London stage. Lord knows it’s been too long!
She came on and opened with “Co-Star” off her insanely dope (cannotstoplisteningto) “Yours Truly” mixtape. A great way to start the evening, it’s one of the illest cuts off that tape. While the set was only short (about an hour) she covered a lot of ground and did the tunes everyone wanted to hear. As soon as she sang ‘baby’ from “Getting Late” – that was it. The crowd erupted into a shattering sonic scream, literally blowing Marsha back. She continued to perform one of her most stunningly beautiful tracks, in the most…Stunningly beautiful way. Her voice, I will say over and over, is mind blowing. She then went into “Say Yes”. Ha, you can only imagine the reaction of the soul-hungry crowd, right? Yup, everyone went mental [again]. She loved it, she knew it was the song everyone was waiting on. Easily one of Floetry’s best (and biggest) tracks – written of course, by Marsha. A sultry, sexy, meaningful and deep song that everyone soul fan references. She sang is perfectly.
Aside from “Say Yes”, the track I think we all, unanimously wanted to see her perform, was “Butterflies”. Marsha famously wrote the song for Michael Jackson which subsequently ended up on his Invincible album. Easily one of the stand out tracks on that record (outside of “Rock My World”). It was evident she was going to perform the song in light of MJ’s passing, and we were all anxiously waiting for an emotional rendition of it. But before she sang that song, just as she sat on her piano, she spoke briefly about the King of Pop saying “I worked with that man, spent time with that man, I spent time with his kids – I cannot believe he’s gone”. Visiably upset, it was clear that Ambrosius had been deeply affected by his sudden and untimely passing. She continued saying “before I sing ["Butterflies"], I’d like to perform a song we were working on, but never got to finish”. Wow, I mean, you can imagine what that was like. I for one felt incredibly privileged. I don’t remember what the song was called, but we do have footage of it (coming soon), but she sang and played with so much passion – the Jazz Cafe grew silent. No backing vocalists, no band – just her and her piano. It was a moment. After a roar of applause, she began to play “Butterflies” – most probably the most emotionally charged part of the evening. As an MJ fan, a Marsha fan and a fan of that song – it was phenomenal.
“Butterflies” signified the end of her set, sadly. I really could have done with another hour of her on stage – an hour wasn’t enough. She has tons of material and could have quite easily performed for the rest of the night, but that’s just me acting spoilt. I was happy I got to witness her music live, something, as I mentioned, I’ve been waiting for for a long time now.
I just hope she returns again soon!
PinBoard had the pleasure of interviewing Marsha Ambrosius just before her gig. We got some real exciting stuff coming, including some exclusive, exclusive material from the lady herself. The interview will be up soon. Watch out for that.
Peace, Love & Marsha Ambrosius

Last night was one of the best Saturday nights I’ve had in a minute. You know one of those nights where everything and everyone comes together perfectly? Yep. Aside from it being the longest day of the year, summer solace and all that bizness (shouts to all the Pagans!) it was also the first Summer Bubblers event at Cargo AND Brainfeeder too!
It wasn’t about going to one and not the other. Summer Bubblers was featuring a pretty sick line up – Rox (whom I had never heard of before) and the super, dupa talented homie Melo-X (interview soon come, promise!). And then Brainfeeder, of course brought it hard with FlyLo, Dorian Concept, Joker, Gaslamp Killer, Kode9 & Benji B on the bill. Damn.
…Like a d*ckhead I forgot my camera, hence: no pictures.
So, we started off at Cargo at around 10.30pm, just as Rox was getting ready to hit the stage. I had never seen her perform live before, so I had no clue what she was gonna be doing on stage (rapping, singing, or otherwise), but as soon as she opened her mouth, it was over. Her voice is simply…Stunning. A home-grown soul singer, clearly inspired by greats like Jill Scott, Aretha Franklin & Erykah Badu but armed with her own distinct style. Dressed in an all in one gold & black jumpsuit, a very petite Rox, along with her 5 piece band, crooned, belted and performed each song perfectly. Her songs, infused Soul, R&B & Reggae, were clearly based on personal experiences and were sang from the heart. Performing around 7 songs, I was left wanting more – always a great way to leave a person. I recommend you hit her up on her myspace, as I have – because trust me, if you like soul music, you’ll love Rox.
After a short DJ set, it was time for Melo-X to come on stage and do his thing. The crowd, who I’m sure were very unclear as to what Melo does, was at first seemingly sceptical – but as soon as my man dropped his first beat, they were all instantly converted. Melo-X is very much in the ‘new school’ of Hip Hop performers, not content with just standing on the stage, raising his hand and performing, this dude was all over that stage AND floor. Armed with his laptop and beat maker, X did his thing with ease and engergy. Not content with performing his (now famous) “Day N Night” remix, and “Treat Her Right (And I Know)”, off his Mustafa’s Renaissance he also pursued to create a beat live on stage and freestyle over it. He rocked Cargo. No doubt.
Straight after his performance we rendezvoused with another member of the PB familia and raced over to the…Carpark where Brainfeeder was happening. We attended the event last year and was blown away, so reaching this one was a no ‘brainer’. As I mentioned, the line up was incredible and just the general vibe/atmosphere in that place is just insane. Brainfeeder is, in my opinion, the closest you’ll get to a 90’s style (illegal) rave. Thousands of people, in a dark car park, reeking of weed, raving to some intense sounding beats and sounds – word? Anyways, we got there just as FlyLo came on and as usual, the man killed it. Flying Lotus is one in his own, there isn’t another one like him and watching him perform is always a joy. During his set he dropped Snoop Dogg’s “What’s My Name”, haha the crowd went insane!
Shortly after, and after a quick freestyle session, Dorian Concept came on stage. The ‘Shaggy-look-alike’, is one of those artists whose music doesn’t really match up with his appearance, but it somehow ‘works’. The geeky, teenage-looking Austrian jumped on stage and pretty much smashed the place a part. His tunes are beyond, just beyond! I don’t know how he comes up with those beats, but however he does, I’m glad he does! His songs pulsate so strong it’s just crazy! Songs from his When Planets Explode album went down a storm – including our favourite “The Fu*king Formula”. Oh my!
Joker was up next – his blend of synthesised beats and straight up UK Grime puzzled a few in attendance, but not us. We continued to skank out nicely to his ridiculously tunes. The guy knows how to utilize a good baseline! I’m sure most of the folk in there were “not ready” for him though. Didn’t matter though, he didn’t give a sh*t. Dropping dope tracks like they were nothing. Big.
Brainfeeder went on til’ like 5am. I left around the 3.30am mark, would have loved to stay, but plans the next day didn’t permit me too. But nonetheless, Brainfeeder 09 was just as, if not better, than last years. The artists represented hard, the venue was perfect, the vibe was insane and yea…It was all just dope. If you haven’t been to Brainfeeder before, I urge you, next year – attend! I’m not the biggest ‘beats head’, but trust me – it’s one of the greatest nights you can go to.
Summer Bubblers returns to Cargo in July, so make sure you hit that up. *I just received word that Joker & Bullion (amongst others) will be playing at the next Summer Bubblers! Damn, you know we’ll DEF be there!* And of course, Brainfeeder is back next year.
Shouts to the PinBoard family and extended family.
Peace, Love, Summer Bubblers & Brainfeeder

Yup. You heard me. Jay-Z & Colplay > Wembley Arena > 18th & 19th September 2009.
Now, you’re either gonna be super excited about this, or like me, not. I mean, Jay-Z of course, I’d be excited, but Coldplay? Man. Why they gotta do that for? I know I’m about to insult a bunch of people, but I really, really cannot stand Chris Martin or his band! They’re just so…Boring!
But as I type/moan, I know that this is Hova and so, Speeakz will most likely have to be there regardless lol!

Filed under: Gigs, LDN Life, Music, Music News, Must Read, Things We're Diggin' | Tags: Gig, Hard Rock Cafe, London, Mr Hudson, Pop, Q Music Club, Review, the Noisettes
Last night I was invited to attend the Q Music Club held at the Hard Rock Cafe on Park Lane, to catch Mr Hudson & The Noisettes live.
I’m a big fan of the Noisettes and so I was pretty excited about seeing them live for the first time. I’ve seen Mr Hudson a few times previous to last night and while not his biggest fan, I remain open minded about his new material and really do love his new single “Supernova”…So was looking forward to hearing that live.
Anyways, Mr Hudson was up first – performing only 5 tracks including the aforementioned song and new single “Supernova” which sounded even better live! He also sang “There Will Be Tears”, another song that’s growing on me, as well as “Too Late, Too Late” from his debut album with the Library. It was a nice, albeit short, set.
After a short interlude and a few too many canepes (mini burgers, chicken sticks & chocolate brownies? Yes please!) and a couple (on the house) drinks, it was time for the Noisettes. As mentioned previously, I hadn’t before last night, seen this band do their thing live – not even on TV, so I had no expectations, but was curious to see how they got down on stage. And boy oh boy, was I in for a shock!
…The stunningly beautiful lead singer Shingai was spellbinding to watch. Her energetic stage antics and powerful (and I mean powerful) vocals brought the songs I love off their album alive, adding a whole new dimension to them in the process. I knew she had a dope voice, but I never knew she got down like that. Jumping in and out the crowd, on top of bar fixtures [see picture below] and back onto the stage again – I was out of breath just watching her! Strumming her bass, while rocking out with her band, Shangei oozed star quality. She most certainly has “it”, whatever “it” is. I was perfectly blown away – to say the least.
I have some footage of both acts on stage, and will try my best to get that up by the end of this week (if not sooner), so bear with me on that. In the meantime, make sure you check both Mr Hudson’s new stuff and the Noisette’s new album (out now)!

Filed under: Gigs, LDN Life, Music, Music News, Must Read, Things We're Diggin' | Tags: Beyonce, Gig, London, Pictures, Pop, R&B, Review, The 02
To be honest, it’s not much a review, because all I can say about Beyonce is that is, without any questions or debate, the best female R&B/Pop artist out there. Simple. Don’t come to me with your Rihanna’s, Ciara’s (whom coincidental I was sitting next to at the gig!), Keri Hilson’s etc – they don’t come close. Don’t get me wrong, I think they’re all cool in their own right, but next to Bey, they all pale in comparison. This may upset a few, but in my opinion it’s not up for discussion.
Her voice is as breathtaking as her beauty – flawless in fact. Not one note out of tune, not one ad-lib miscalculated, every song sang to pure perfection. I did warn you, not much a review here. Her choreography, while not the most complex I’ve seen was effective nonetheless. I enjoyed the show aspect of the concert too – I thought it flowed really well and played the ‘Sasha Fierce’ thing off quite well (a theme I’ve never really been too found of). Ms Knowles performed all the tracks we wanted to hear including “Crazy In Love”, “Upgrade You”, “Me, Myself & I”, “If I Were a Boy”, “Diva” and of course “Halo”. Not to mention a dope medley of Destiny’s Child biggest tunes! During “Baby Boy” she flew up and over the crowd and landed on the mini-stage right.next.to.my.seat – my girl was singing while dangling upside down – c’mon!
…I literally took some 200 odd pictures. I went ‘flicking’ crazy.
So yea, I was a stupidly huge fan before I saw her live and now – I have probably earned my ’stan’ stripes. All jokes aside though, I do not think there is a better female pop/R&B artist out there at the moment (or has been in a very, very long time). While many will hate and most will have their opinions the facts don’t lie. Her voice is faultless, her moves are cool and her concepts (videos etc) are contemporary and graceful. I have no doubts in my mind that in 25 years, people will look at Beyonce and hold her in much the same regard we now hold Tina Turner.
Peace, Love & Beyonce

If Hip Hop is my wife and Soul is my lady, then Pop is that chick I guiltily run back to that no one knows about.
PinBoard is proud to be a little different, a little diverse, and while we’re 99.9% about Hip Hop/R&B/Soul, we also can down to a little unadultered pop music. Booooooyaaaa! So, with my free* ticket in hand, I sat back (ok, stood up) and watched Britney’s circus roll in.
…And oh, what a freak show it was!
It safe to say, no one pays to hear Britney sing, but miming the entire way through was a bit shambolic. And while it’s clear Ms Spears still remains a bit…’vacant’ and not 100% back in the game – what she does on stage for two hours (ish) is nothing short of spectacular. Granted, she had a few extended moments off stage (costume changes etc) – but nevertheless her show was just amazing. Dwarfs, acrobats, flame throwers, martial arts, clowns, dancers and all sorts helped Britney put on one of the most extravagant shows I have witnessed since Michael Jackson’s in 1997. And damn, I don’t know what the hell that man is gonna bring if his show is gonna be even bigger?!
Anyways, Britney isn’t one to analyse, you don’t need to think deeply about her artistic integrity or her musical ability – you don’t even go to hear her sing. What you pay for is to see her entertain and while I don’t necessarily feel she ‘loves’ what she does like she used to and actually at moments, felt quite sorry for her – she is, without a doubt, a born entertainer and whether you like to admit it or not, she’s a legend in her own right. Check out some of the snaps from last night…
^ Never been a Ciara fan but wow, did she kill it on stage. Her moves are beyond serious! God blessed her with an amazing bumper too (just FYI).
So there you have it. Britney does the 02 big styleeee! I know she ain’t to everyones taste, but as I’ve said a zillion times before, music is about having fun and she most certainly granted us that.
PinBoard will now return to it’s regular scheduled programming.
Peace, Love & Britney

Filed under: Gigs, LDN Life, Music, Music News, Must Read, Things We're Diggin' | Tags: Deviation, Fabric, Gig, Hip Hop, J Rocc, Live, Madlib, Review
Last night was pretty intense. Fabric, a place I haven’t passed through since…Damn, my college days. A very different kinda Speeakz used to get down inna that place on a regular. It took two legends to get me back in that there, and boi, drunken memories aside, I can not regret attending, one bit.
It was truly an amazing sight to see that many people (850+ I hear) out, ready to rave, on a Tuesday night. It’s rare, very rare in fact, but people were ready and willing. The vibe was so on point, no ’scenester’ stooshness/stupidness (the kids stayed at home), no waste drunken foolishness – this was a strictly Hip Hop event.
I arrived about 11ish, at which point, J.Rocc was on spinning his soul out. The dude kilt’ it. Like, completely smashed the venue to pieces. The tunes he was dropping were sending us all into a sense of musical euphoria. I can’t possibly go through all the tunes he played coz they were all pretty serious, but I remember quite vividly going crazy when he dropped Aaliyah’s “Rock the Boat” (Lola, I SEE you!).
…Then, he dropped “The Red”. People who know me well enough, know that that tune is my all time favourite Dilla beat. But wait, what was that? Madlib on stage performing it LIVE? Are you taking the piss? By this point we were up on the balcony, and sh*t, I could have quite easily jumped over with excitement. Madlib, rocking “The Red” was most certainly the highlight of my night.
It was only a short time after this that Madlib took to the decks properly to start his set. Course, by this point everyone’s anticipation levels were reaching maximum. We were waiting for those classic Lib’ tracks, waiting for him to drop something that was gonna make us all go wild but, unfortunately they hardly arrived! Now, I don’t want to be too harsh or nagative on him, because all fans of his should know the kinda dude he is. He’s serious, he’s deep, he’s intense. So, to expect anything less that random instrumentals, new productions (”that you’ll never hear again”) and strange interludes would have been a lil’ naive of you. But, inbetween the odd chaotic musical rant, he did drop some new Madvillian, some new Quasi & some new Beat Konducta – which all seemingly went down well.
Unfortunately, raving on Tuesday has its downfalls, the main one being work the next day. So, we retired relatively early-ish. But I heard after we left J Rocc jumped back on the stage and once again, brought the house down. I’m even hearing (from various people) that he’s the best live DJ peeps have ever seen. Hmmmm. I mean, I wouldn’t like to comment on that, but I wouldn’t necessarily complain about that claim. He’s incredible. But together, Madlib & J Rocc are even better. Their chemistry is something very cool to behold.
Benji B & Co took Deviation to the next level last night. They truly outdid themselves. Til’ the next one!
