Dwoods

The world watched D.Woods blossom from a reality star hopeful all the way to a multi-platinum selling memBEr of what was slated to BE one of the biggest girl groups known to man. Although it looks like we’ve seen the final ups and downs of Danity Kane; one thing’s for sure, you’re just seeing the BEginnings of D.Woods‘ raw unadulterated talent.
D has always BEen a friend to BE Magazine, and we’ve BEen privileged to get an up-close and personal look at her experience as a major & independent artist, from her BEginnings with Danity Kane and Girls Club, all the way to her Independence Days as a solo threat. Not only has she managed to overcome what could have BEen the an extremely tragic situation (walking out on her boss Diddy), she’s singlehandedly kept afloat in this dog eats dog industry. - Jason Dinsmore

Former Danity Kane member D. Woods unleashes her mixtape, Lady In The Street, hosted by DJ Trauma. If you no longer remember (or simply don’t know) who or what a Danity Kane is, all you really need to know is D. Woods was one of the best vocalists in it.
The mixtape features appearances from her sister Shanell, Mack Maine (both from Young Money), former labelmates Willy and Brian (from another defunct Diddy project, Day26) and Rick Ross. Definitely worth a download if you like R&B that sounds like R&B. - Tahirah Edwards Byfield

Some girls are ladies in the street, but a freak in the bed—but former Danity Kane member D. Woods chooses to keep it out of the bedroom on her new mixtape Lady in the Street, hosted by DJ Trauma. The tape, which spotlights her solo abilities, sees her getting some help from Day26's Will and Brian, her sister Shanell, Mika Means, Rick Ross, Mack Maine, and more, while producers Soundz, J-Lack, Pooh Bear, and Black Frost offer up their best fare. Check out this class act’s new joint below.

The 6th Annual Roots Jam Session was absolutely on fire from midnight on. It hit me while watching from the crowd that, without any shade of gimmickry or second fiddling, The Roots are simply the best jam band around. And I don’t mean that in the Phish or even Grateful Dead sense, but in terms of amazing live collaborative improvisation and all around on-stage teamwork that stretches beyond into an industry family that runs the musical gamut. Last night’s line-up of wall-to-wall Grammy winners and nominees—from John Legend to Mos Def to Foreign Exchange—cut loose for three hours.
Ahmir “?uestlove” Thompson, the Twitterati luminary with over a million followers barely put his drum sticks down the whole night, seemingly only to tweet a few updates. Meanwhile lyricist Black Thought paired with Mos Def and other MCs throughout the night, but this was far more than a hip-hop show. D. Woods from Diddy’s Danity Kane, after asking the crowd if she do some alternative rock, unleashed a stellar Linda Perry a la Four Non Blonde’s “What’s Up”. - Raymond Leon Roker
