Heads up: I talked to a few mom-and-pop record stores in the Philadelphia area and the owners have told me that they hope to have John Legend's CD Get Lifted in stores on Friday. I -- as well as other music heads in the blogsphere -- have been anticipating this R&B crooner's CD for months. Some have heard his bootleg copy that has been floating around on the Internet. But I want the finished product -- the CD booklet and everything. So that's where I'll be on Friday -- looking around the stores for John Legend's album. Check your local mom-and-pop record stores (not Tower Records or Virgin Records) so see if they will have his CD in stock on Friday. And cop that ish!!

In the meantime, check out Honey Soul's radio blog featuring John Legend in Concert. It's truly an up-Lifting performance.

Holla!
