Yay or Nay: Jump In The Air - Erykah Badu

If you haven't heard by now Erykah Badu is dropping her new album 'New Amerykah Part II: Return of the Ankh'
March 30. The album is said to have more live instruments than digital ones (The Roots' ?uestlove shows his drumming talents on the track "Window Seat") and was originally slated to be released at the end of February but was pushed back. As for the naming of the album, Badu told Billboard.com:

I called it 'Part II: The Return of the Ankh' because this album is the sister of the left side of my brain -- it is the right side. Part I was the left side of my thoughts -- it was more socially political and my thought process was more analytical. This time there wasn't anything to be concerned with -- the album is more emotional and flowy and talks about feelings. It reminds of the days of 'Baduizm' -- this is just about beats and rhymes in a cipher.
Today's track was recently released and from my understanding it will be featured on her upcoming album. Initially this song had leaked but was rumored to have featured Lil' Wayne and Andre 3000 instead of Bilal. What do you think? Yay or Nay: "Jump In The Air (Stay There)" - Erykah Badu feat. Lil' Wayne and Bilal
