Music Gem: Electrik Red - "How To Be A Lady Vol 1"

Back in 2009, a girl group called Electrik Red was ushered in by The-Dream and his production partner Tricky Stewart. They offered a great mixture of R&B and Hip-hop music that was ahead of it`s time and addresses topics that were very controversial at that time but at the same time very refreshing, edgy and sexually liberating and empowering.

Their debut album "How To Be A Lady Vol 1" puts you in the mind of Prince`s girl group Vanity 6, with 80`s R&B elements within the production and laced up with four harmonizing and occasionally rapping- raspy vocals.
 And their lyrics were very sharp and sexually empowering in the same vein as Lil Kim, with lyrics like "Now tell me what you really gonna do with that, never seen a girl with an ass so fat. I'm not a stripper but I dance like that,  I'm not a stripper but where the money at? I'm not a freak, I'm not a nasty hoe, well I'm lyin' but I'm classy though."
