The 52nd NAACP Image Awards honors the accomplishments of BIPOC artists across TV, music, film and literature.

CeeLo Green – the talented singer, songwriter and rapper, who is one half of the duo Gnarls Barkley and a prominent member of the group Goodie Mob – has announced that he will be doing a special valentine’s weekend performance.

The show, which will air via the popular site Sessions Live, is scheduled for Saturday, February 13th at 6:00 PM. For tickets and additional information, click here.

In December, what sounds like an old recording of Ms. Lauryn Hill surfaced online. The song is titled “A Perfect Match” and it comes courtesy of Kali Ranks, a former Def Jam reggae/hip-hop artist from Jamaica. Though it is being promoted as a new collaboration between the two, Lauryn‘s vocals are the only one heard on the audio.

It is clear that this song was done many years ago because Hill made a lot of references to The Fugees. She also had a freedom in her voice, the kind of freedom she had when she just came on the scene, before all the filth in the industry took it away. Click here to check out the song.
