Erykah Badu put in some work at the Winter Music Conference last week. She appeared at the Giant Step 12th Annual Sunset Soiree and moved the crowd with a few cuts from New Amerykah Part One. Seeing this footage of Erykah performing her new material should whet people's appetites for her upcoming tour.

Check the video of her getting live on "Soldier" below and peep "Master Teacher" after the bounce.

Oh, I love "The Cell" and "Amerykahn Promise"!

Ya know, I'm actually sitting here giggling 'cause ain't she sayin' "What if there were no niggas, only Master Teachers? I'd stay woke!"

The audience wasn't nothin' but folks of the _____ persuasion! I know they heard what she was sayin' and were completely uncomfortable but kept singing along anyway.

I know they didn't "get" it though.

Thanks for tryin' Erykah. :)

Of course she took her sweet time coming out. She hangs out with Bilal.

May can't come quick enough for me!

I really, really dig that she took a chance and went left on this album.

At first I was skeptical about this album but I am definately feeling it now

Yeah, I was there. The homie Ty filmed that footage. I also had the special privilege of hooking up the turntables and Serato for Karriem Riggins.

She sure took her sweet time coming out though. Then when she was done she waded out into the swimming pool - clothing, wig and all.

Twinkle and Me. Those are the best songs on there. I can see if you said Cell and Amerykahn Promise.

"New Amerykah" is really growing on me. The only songs I skip are "Me" and "Twinkle". It took me a minute.
