[Video] Kelis: "Jerk Ribs"
Kelis has been somewhat quiet for awhile. Since marrying Nas, the "Milkshake" singer hasn't been heard from much, save for a string of well-received but commercially disappointing albums between 2009-2012, Kelis seemed to have faded into the background after a career that garnered her two Grammy nominations, 10 top ten UK singles and tours around the world. That is, until recently when she announced her first four U.S. shows in four years with the release of her video for "Jerk Ribs" off her album, Food due out April 22. The Le Cordon Bleu-certified chef, who also announced the unveiling of a cooking show on The Food Network, "Saucy and Sweet" which premiers February 26th at 8:30 EST, lives a slice of life piece in her latest visual offering as well, with cameras following her from here to there. Along with the SXSW sets announced, Kelis plans to make her presence known in Austin this year, as she will be manning her own food truck and cooking for fans and patrons of the festival on March 13 & 14. Follow her at @IamKelis for updates on where she'll show up!

[Songs of the Day] 2/11/14 (Feat. Wiz Khalifa, Klaxons, The Black Lips and more)
Tuesday got a healthy dose of new music, and we have all of it gathered here for you once again for our 'songs of the day'. Starting things off is the honky-tonk sounds of Denny & The Jets with "Mexican Coke" and Klaxons with their heavy-handed dream pop arrangement in "Children of the Sun". Vic Mensa capitalized on a successful tour with Disclosure by releasing a freestyle over the UK duo's track "When A Fire Starts to Burn" off their album, Settle, and fellow Chicagoans Roman Flowrs and Donnie Trumpet teamed up over a Cam Osteen-produced beat in the soulful "Lake Shore Drive" and theWHOevers round out the middle of the map, offering up a J Dilla tribute in "Sooner or Later". Lil Boosie teases his post-prison plans, getting together with Boston George and Future on "Rich Off Lean" while Mr. Carmack gives listeners a new groove in his instrumental, "Free Baby" and Kelis returns with a new song in "Rumble". Yumi Zouma's “A Long Walk Home For Parted Lovers” gets a remix from Wild Nothings, Harry Fraud remixes JOYWAVE's "Tongues" and we get new tracks from The Black Lips, Beverly, Wiz Khalifa and a talented newcomer in Barney Bones. Check it all out, streaming below.
