#Listening to A Salt With A Deadly Pepa, the 1998 album from all-women's hip hip pioneers Salt'n'Pepa;

Consisting of MCs Salt and Pepa, and DJ Spinderella (best DJ name *ever*, hands down), this group became legendary during my high school years for the funky wordplay of the sex education anthem Let's Talk About Sex. The only song of theirs I can remember hearing before today.

I didn't know til the other day that John Legend and the Roots did a record together in 2010 with their versions of some classic soul songs and such - including this Curtis Mayfield song 'Hard Times'. What a GROOVE. This is a live studio version. Just wow.

This week's #MusicWomenWednesday is this fantastic new rap record 'Baejing Ballad'. This one is straight fire. Vocals and lyrics (aside from a couple features) by the immensely talented emcee Chyna Baejing, and it's all carried along by the ridiculously great beats and samples of producer Boneweso. I've been playing this one constantly this year, as anyone who's seen my last.fm stats know. It's solid as fuck.
