One of music’s more interesting artists, Janelle Monae is making a lot of noise this year with the release of her album, The ArchAndroid and her lead single, Tightrope featuring Big Boi.  I got the chance to see her open for Erykah Badu and she was very dope.  Recently she put out a remix and a video for her single, Tightrope featuring two of hip hop’s most interesting cats, B.o.B. and Lupe Fiasco.  I can’t lie, B.o.B. kind of kills this record.  I look forward to seeing what Janelle Monae does in the future because she can sing her ass off and I think she is originally from Kansas City.  Check out the video
