On a more serious note, due to the catastrophic earthquake that devastated Haiti last week, millions of people are in desperate need of medical attention, shelter, clothes and food. With hundreds dead and the list growing everyday, the people of Haiti need our help and support to make it through this tragic time. Here is one way you can help. Lupe Fiasco has partnered with Music for Relief and has donated a brand new track titled “Resurrection” with Kenna to support the Haitian Earthquake response effort. Many artists are following in Lupe’s footsteps including Alanis Morissette, The All-America Rejects, Dave Matthews Band, Enrique Iglesias, Hoobastank, Linkin Park, Peter Gabriel and Slash. You can help support the immediate relief and long term recovery process in Haiti by downloading the music player, listening to your favorite tracks and making a donation for your downloads.

Nneka’s first U.S. LP, Concrete Jungle, will be released on February 2nd, and she will undertake a headlining tour to match.
