It was released in 2008 following Badu’s hiatus from recording music due to writer’s block.

Most of the album was then recorded at Electric Lady Studios in New York City.

New Amerykah Part One is an esoteric concept album titled as a pun on Badu’s first name and a reflection of the record’s political leanings.
