Erykah Badu recently connected with Childish Gambino to bridge the gap during their one-off performance in Berkeley, California. She talks in-depth about the experience in an exclusive conversation with OKP TV. During the chat, Badu describes the inter-generational experience of sharing the stage with him as "completing the cypher" - a rather appropriate take on the collaborative show given that each artist is representative of the virtuosity and genre-bending philosophy of their respective generations. The clip, which follows the recent release of Childish Gambino's STN MTN/Kauai EP, features exclusive footage of his set alongside poignant commentary from E. Badu. Breaking down the importance of the show she also praises Childish Gambino, who she refers to as one of the "frequency heroes." Check the footage below to watch the full interview and show recap featuring Erykah Badu and Childish Gambino. Stay tuned for more from OKP TV.
