After a troubling post on her blog stating that she landed in the hospital, Amanda Diva is back with Episode 20 of Diva Speak TV. Tune in as she takes you into a week in-the-life of the ultra busy Deev. You won't believe her schedule while she recaps her hustles including trips to: Paid Dues NYC ft 9th Wonder & GZA, a salon opening where she interviews Rakim, hostessing The Hors D'Oeuvres, rehearsing for her show with Kidz In The Hall in NY, hostessing okayplayerTV at The Roots Picnic, public speaking, and more! YES, in that order. NO, I did not spoil everything. Watch and learn.
Bonus: Video of Amanda live at SOB's this past Tuesday for NYC's Eclectic Ride... after the jump.
Here are the final two sets of photos from VillageSlum and Okayplayer's Mel D. Cole. The first gallery consists of performance photos of The Roots only while the second stars Gnarls Barkley, Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings, Deerhoof, The Cool Kids, and J*Davey. Once again, stay tuned for what will be an amazing gallery of portraits shot by Trevor Paulhus as well as video from okayplayerTV.
Here's the video for Estelle's third single, "No Substitute Lover," off of her debut album Shine. The song was produced by Wyclef Jean and the video features cameos from Kelly Rowland and Amanda Diva (What up Amanda!). Fellas be careful those camera phones are EVERYWHERE.
Okayplayer blogger extradanaire Amanda Diva is back with the latest episode of her Diva Speak TV series. Inside she runs down the news regarding Slick Rick's on his recent imigration ruling, women being let down by the industry while not sounding like a whiney femcee (this is a running thread we have going on here at Okayplayer), shout outs to OnSmash and Nahright, her repping Harlem while being from Orlando, and her upcoming events in NYC. Homegirl is funny with it.
As we continue to add and refine our artists blogs, the latest to join the fold is the lovely and talented Ms. Amanda Diva who's DivaSpeakTV on blogspot was just ported over to the Okayplayer Blogs channel yesterday. Check it out! More blogs, as well as a dedicated channel for all the blogs (to replace the current simple listing) are in the works.
