Everyone’s auntie, Ms. Erykah Badu has signed up to curate the fourth installment of the fabulous Fela Kuti Box Set project that catalogs the Afrobeat icon’s extensive discography. Badu’s box set will contain the albums, Yellow Fever (1976), No Agreement(1977), J.J.D. (Johnny Just Drop) (1977), V.I.P. (1979), Coffin For Head of State (1980), Army Arrangement (1984), and 1992’s Underground System.

“Fela Kuti is a Fucking Genius,” Badu said in a statement. “Please listen to these tracks, preferably with a nice blunt.. with a nice slow burn.”

Amen.
