Amidst rumors of bad breakup and cheating hearts, Common and Erykah Badu still continue to ride that awkward “ex-lovers/now-friends” line. Who can forget their Billboard hit, Love of My Life, which, for many hip-hop fans, gave hope that these two would one day manifest a child that would be the second-coming of Tupac. Ah but good things never last. After three years since their visible break-up, Common and Badu are mature enough to still work together, musically. (We’re glad some people are!) Even though they are slated to perform separately, the reigning conscious Afro-abiding hip-hop stars will share the same stage for one night only. Both heavily promoting their next endeavors, Common coming out with “Finding Forever”, his 7th LP and Badu, releasing 3 (that’s right, 3!) full-length albums slated for this year and next. Rest assured, this double-header will knock out a memorable performance that will be a must-see for true hip-hop aficionados out there. Oh and did I forget to mention it’s free? The event is held at Chakra, a high-end deluxe nightclub on South Beach and it’ll be by the doorman’s discretion who gets in and who doesn’t. So leave the baggy jeans and Ecko wear at home and invest in some Derek Lam. It’ll be worth it. [EP]
