Amanda Blank and Yo Majesty will step pon u.

I've been reloading Amanda Blank and Yo Majesty tracks hard since we caught them at the Spank Rock show during CMJ. Here's a pic from the show. I love the way Jwl. B is fixing her cap so nonchalantly:



Amanda Blank is straight buffness. For the uninitiated her verse on Bump by Spank Rock should be all you need for convincing. But she's got wicked variety - I'm currently loving her track on MySpace For the Unloved (Diplo Production). She sometimes posts pretty amusing stuff on Fuck Your Blog, Son. The story about her literally stepping on some dude in a bar cracked me up.

Spank Rock feat. Amanda Blank - Bump.

Yo Majesty are fucking sick but Jwl. B is on another fucking level! I just watched a interview where Beth Ditto asked them pretty lame questions. Transcript:

Beth Ditto: do you feel like you have to work harder because you are a black female in the music industry?
Jwl B (interrupting): hellll no i don't give a damn
Beth Ditto: but do you think that other people give a damn, has it been hard?
Jwl B: well i'm gonna make it easy

She goes on to warn men not to fuck with Yo Majesty at their shows by telling a story about some guy she had to slap so hard he ricocheted on his seat.

Here's my favourite track of theirs so far:
