Childish Gambino, YG, Anderson .Paak & More To Perform At Coachella 2019 [PEEP]

Before Coachella tickets went go on-sale I can already tell you they’re sold out with all the hype the lineup created when it was announced last night.

This year highlights more international stars and includes less hip-hop acts than last year. Childish Gambino, Tame Impala, and Ariana Grande lead the pack this year as headliners.

The three day, two weekend event goes down Friday April 12th and 19th, Saturday April 13th and 20th, and Sunday April 14th and 21st.

Day 1 includes performances from Janelle Monáe, Anderson .Paak, Juice WRLD, Ella Mai, Jaden Smith, dvsn, Tierra Whack, and more, with a closing performance from Gambino that should be magical in that setting.

Day 2 will see performances from Solange, Kid Cudi, J Balvin, Wiz Khalifa, Sheck Wes, Virgil Abloh, Sabrina Claudio, SiR, Smino, Murda Beatz, Bazzi, and more.

It will cap off on Sunday, with performances from Pusha-T, Khalid, Bad Bunny, YG, Playboi Carti, H.E.R., Gucci Gang (Gucci Mane, Lil Pump, and Smokepurpp), and Ariana Grande, who had a tough 2018, so this is certainly a light spot for her.

The “Gucci Gang” name in the bill caused a lot of confusion as people automatically thought the fetival made a mistake and meant to say Gucci Mane. LaFlare will be there along with Lil Pump and Smokepurpp as part of a newly formed supergroup called “Gucci Gang.”

Coachella will take place over two weekends in its usual location of Empire Polo Club in Indio, Calif. Passes go on sale Friday, Jan. 4, at 11 a.m. PST at coachella.com.

New Video: Childish Gambino – “This Is America” [WATCH]

Over the weekend Childish Gambino made multiple headlines starting with his “Saturday Night Live” appearance in which also performed and premiered his new single “This Is America.” Shortly after the “ATL” star released the visuals for the track.

Co-produced by himself and Ludwig Göransson, the trappy beat allows Gambino to spit bars about the land of the free and the injustices people of color face everyday. “This is America / Don’t catch you slipping up / Look what I’m whipping up! / Get your money, black man,” he raps.

The single also includes a choir and a lit of rappers who come through with ad-libs throughout. Rappers that can be heard on the song include Big Sean, Young Thug, 21 Savage, Offset, Kodak Black, and others. Thugger also provides the outro vocals.

In the Hiro Murai-video Donald Glover appears shirtless with khaki pants and is seen smiling, dancing around, and losing his temper as he shoots at a singer and a choir. The video is juxtaposed with gunfire, blood splatter, rage, rioting, and graffiti. TDE’s SZA makes a cameo in the ending.

Gambino is currently working on his forth studio album which is expected to be released soon under his Wolf + Rothstein imprint via RCA records. It will be his final album under his Childish Gambino alias and is potentially also his final on RCA before he moves on to Atlantic Records.

Watch and listen to “This Is America” below.

Migos Performs “Bad and Boujee” On “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” [WATCH]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7bDZ4VHAws

Securing the No. 1 spot will put you in the spotlight, or atleast in the case of Migos it did. Last night the trio took their No. 1, smash single “Bad and Boujee” to late night, to perform it on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”

Last week it was announced that the single, which features Lil’ Uzi Vert, topped Billboard’s Hot 100 chart, replacing Ed Sheeran’s record-breaking “Shape of You.” For the three Trapeteers, it was their first chart-topping record, and has gained added popularity since Donald Glover (a.k.a. Childish Gambino) shouted it out during his Golden Globes acceptance speech.

“Bad and Boujee” will be one of 12 songs on the Migos’ forthcoming album, ‘C U L T U R E’, which is expected to drop on February 27th. The album will include features from Travis Scott, DJ Khaled, Lil’ Uzi Vert, and more.

Everyday technology continues to evolve and many artists are implementing that same technology into their repitoire. Childish Gambino is out here getting innovative in the video for “Me and Your Mama” off his recently released album, ‘Awaken, My Love!’.

The Fred Warren-directed video offers a PHAROS virtual reality experience, where the viewer is able to pivot their view from side-to-side and up-and-down in the 360-degree clip.

These visuals were shot at the Donald Glover PHAROS experience at Joshua Tree, California in September. The experience was created in collaboration with Microsoft and could be viewed on the PHAROS app, available on iOS and Android.
