Have we mentioned that we love FX’s “Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell”? Not only did they do that public service announcement on street harassment (THANK YOU!!!) but they put us on to the very talented entertainer, Reggie Watts (just to name a few).

Photo via LA Weekly And celebrate we did, last Thursday at Club Nokia in Los Angeles. We celebrated the album that Yasiin Bey (Mos Def) and Talib Kweli dropped in 1998 and has been getting steady play ever since.

Last week, Arithmachic made it out to see the always incredible Erykah Badu at the Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles. We’re no stranger to Ms. Badula Oblongata, but this tour felt extra special, thanks in large part to her latest project, The Cannabinoids.
