Erykah Badu

She also performed with roots rock reggae musician and singer Burning Spear. House Of Doom (2004). Badu dropped her "slave name" "Erica Wright" in favor of "Badu", which she reports as Arabic for "to manifest truth.". This gave Wylde the opportunity to produce a number of his own side projects, including Pride and Glory, "Zakk Wylde's Book of Shadows," and finally, the longest lived: Black Label Society. Recruiting a band at the inception of Osbourne's world-famous Ozzfest, Zakk Wylde now plays with the Ozzy Osbourne Band as well as Black Label Society on tour. Some music journalists have labeled her Nu soul, nouvelle-soul or neosoul, often comparing her to Billie Holiday in lyrical delivery and grouping her with Maxwell and D'Angelo in musical genre. In the late 1990s, following the album Ozzmosis, Wylde's mainstay with Osbourne took to the wayside as Ozzy went on what seemed like an endless hiatus. She weaves unusual musical influences together creating a rich texture of sound. Black Label Society is a heavy metal band and the brainchild of guitarist/vocalist/pianist/songwriter Zakk Wylde of Ozzy Osbourne's band.

She is probably best known for "You Got Me," her collaboration with The Roots, as well as her own songs "Tyrone", "Next Lifetime", "On & On", and "Clevah." Her lyrics are highly personal urban philosophy which throw emotional challenges in the face of the listener. Boozed, Broozed, and Broken Boned (Live DVD) (2003).
