The Inquirer just released their Spring music announcing 8 in ‘08 to watch out for and it features some of our favorites on the list including the power couple above.

The YMD: set for the spring release of the hilarious Excuse Me, This Is the Yah Mos Def on Princeton’s My Pal God records.
Santogold: Santogold, her self-titled debut, comes out in April.
Nouveau Riche: A new EP is due next month, and a full-length by year’s end. They play Silk City, with TuPhace, on Feb. 12.
Diplo: putting the finishing touches on a Brazilian music movie called Favela on Blast that dazzles even as a work in progress. He’s got a solo album coming with vocal tracks from artists as varied as Cat Power and rapper Bun B, and a reggae dancehall album with British DJ Switch. And, oh yeah, he’s spinning on the MySpace tour as the opening act for Justice, at the Electric Factory March 10.
Spank Rock and Amanda Blank: both will have albums out on the Downtown label.

Philly is doing it real big in ‘08.
