We are about a week away from the release of Janelle Monae’s debut album, Arch Android. The LP features her leading single, “Tightrope” which co-stars Big Boi. Some may remember that Janelle Monae performed at Big Boi’s 2009 set in Austin, TX and ended up landing on the front page of the paper the very next day. Roughly a year and some change since then, we have the official first offering. Monae talked to us about the release of her album, and even with the hype movement over the last couple years, the Kansas City born artist feels like her career is finally starting. In anticipation of the LP, we have an Organized Noize remix of “Tightrope”. Check it out below.
