EarthGang have shared a new single paying tribute to Erykah Badu. It is simply titled “Erykah,” and it arrives with a playful music video shot by Neri. Watch EarthGang ride jet skis and chill on the beach in the clip below.
EarthGang open “Erykah” with a monologue about the first time they heard Badu’s music. The song appears to sample Badu’s song “Window Seat” from her 2010 LP New Amerykah Part Two: Return of the Ankh.
“Erykah” follows EarthGang’s May single “Aretha,” devoted to the Queen of Soul. That track was produced by Yudu Gray and EarthGang’s Olu. It also arrived with Neri-directed visual.
