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.

The 2018 Coachella Lineup Has Been Announced [PEEP]

With 2018 in motion, it’s time for festival talk and the lineup for one of the biggest festivals of the year has been announced. Two days into the year, the lineup for Coachella has been revealed and will include Eminem, The Weeknd, and Beyoncé as headliners.

For the first time ever Eminem will be a headliner, as he has only performed as Dr. Dre’s guest back in 2012. Marshall will close the music and arts festival both weekends. Other acts performing the same day include Migos, French Montana, Miguel 6lack, Jidenna, Cardi B, and more.

The Weeknd will be on the bill for the third time, as he has been listed a performer twice in the past. The Starboy will perform on the Friday of each weekend along with: SZA, Vince Staples, Belly, Daniel Caesar, SuperDuperKyle, among others.

For Beyoncé, she was supposed to perform at last year’s Coachella festival, but had to pull out due to her impending pregnancy. She performed back in 2014 with Solange and did a performance with her beau, Jay-Z in 2010. Tyler The Creator, Post Malone, BROCKHAMPTON, Jorja Smith, and others will join Yoncé on the Saturday of each weekend.

Both hip-hop and R&B will be the dominating genre at the three-day festival, as no Rock-N-Roll acts are listed on any day of the bill for the first time in the festival’s history.

Coachella will take place April 13th through the 15th and April 20th to 22nd at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. Passes will go on sale this Friday, January 5th at noon PST on coachella.com.

Check out the complete lineup below.

gucci-mane-coachella

Gucci Mane pays homage to the Coachella Music Festival by dropping a new song called “Coachella”. The 1017 boss is fresh off his dominating performance at weekend 1 of the Indio festival, so it’s only right he dropped a track to celebrate.

“Coachella” is co-produced by heavyweights, Murda Beatz and TM88. On the track you hear a snippet of GuWop’s set and get some cold bars with Gucci rapping, “Cold weather, just performed at Coachella / It’s a cold summer, so I’ma paint the Lam’ yella / Brr!”

Gucci is currently touring on his “TrapGod Tour” while getting ready to release his book, “The Autobiography of Gucci Mane”, working on his next album, and working on a independent film with Rick Ross.

Beyoncé & Kendrick Lamar Set To Headline Coachella [PEEP]

beyonce-kendrick-bet-awards

Headlines were made a few months ago with the prospective possibility of Beyoncé and Kendrick Lamar being headliners at this year’s Coachella. Fans of both artists can now rejoice as Coachella made it official today that both Yoncé and K. Dot will headline.

It’s not the first time both headliners have performed at the festival, Beyoncé has popped up at a couple festivals in the desert before, most recently during her sister Solange’s set in 2014. She also joined her hubby, Jay-Z onstage in 2010. Kendrick Lamar took the stage in 2012 and appeared as a special guest for both Ice Cube’s set and Anderson .Paak’s last year.

This year Queen Bey will close things out on Saturday April 15th, following Future, Gucci Mane, ScHoolboy Q, and other’s respective performances.

King Kendrick will close out the weekend on April 16th, following DJ Khaled, Lil Uzi Vert, Kehlani, and other’s take the stage.

The same lineup will be featured the following weekend for an encore from April 21st-23rd as it always does.

The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival will take place at its usual Indio, Calif. location for two weekends in April. Other notable hip-hop artists include Travis Scott, Mac Miller, and others.

Beyoncè & Kendrick Lamar Rumored To Be Performing At Coachella 2017 [PEEP]

beyonce-kendrick-lamar-bet

With Donald Trump getting ready to take office on January 20th of next year, many people are in no rush to get the new year started. However, there is a report floating around that Beyoncè and Kendrick Lamar are rumored to be headlining Coachella 2017. (Now that’s something to be excited for.)

HITS Daily Double is reporting that both artists are set to headline the festival, along with another rumored performer, Radiohead. As of now nothing is imminent, but the rumor should create extra hype for festival. Both Yoncè and Lamar have made appearances at the festival before, but never as headliners.

K. Dot performed at the festival in 2012 and appeared as a special guest for both Ice Cube’s set and Anderson .Paak’s last year. Kendrick’s catalalog during Coachella 2012 was nowhere near what it is now, as he was just a mere supporting act with his name on the final row of the lineup list in a tiny letters. See if you could find it below.

DJ Khaled has already hinted that he will be taking his special cloth talk to the festival. Stay tuned.

DRAKE RELEASES VIEWS
It was almost two years since Drake announced the title of his fourth studio album ‘Views’, and on Friday he finally gave fans what they had been waiting for.

The highly anticipated album is laced with 20 songs that possess that Drake and 40 combination known to warrant plaques.

‘VIEWS’ boasts features from Rihanna, Future, Pimp C, PARTYNEXTDOOR, WizKid, Popcaan and dvsn.

Jay-Z and Kanye were supposed to also be on the album for their collab on “Pop Style,” but as Drizzy told Zane Lowe during his interview samples were not clear. No biggie for Drake whom accomplished something Kanye and Jay have never done — sell over half a million on the FIRST day. Guess Drake featuring Drake gets the job done.

My must-hear 6ix songs off the album are below in no particular order:
“Controlla”
“Childs Play”
“Redemption”
“Still Here”
“Faithful” feat. Pimp C & dvsn
“Too Good” feat. Rihanna

I wasn’t too impressed with the album at first, but after numerous plays I can see why this album figures to be the album of the summer. Let me know in the comments below what your favorite songs off ‘VIEWS’ are.

Purchase it HERE.

SUMMER SIXTEEN TOUR
When Drake and Future said they were “up to something” they weren’t kidding, they truly were “not just bluffing.”

The “Jumpman” duo announced Monday they are hitting the road this summer for their Summer Sixteen tour.

This is not the first time the two have been on tour together. Drake has taken Future on the road before for both his Jungle tour and Would You Like a Tour.

Since the tour was announced a number of dates have been added including an extra show in LA at the Staples Center and another one at MSG in New York, making NY the city with the most dates with four.

Tickets for the Summer Sixteen tour went on sale this Friday on Ticketmaster, and if you’re reading this it might be too late to get tickets for select cities. GOOD LUCK!

Check out ALL the dates below:

DESIIGNER’S “PANDA” TOPS CHARTS

Freshman rapper Desiigner is doing things the guy he gets compared to has never done, as his hit-single “Panda” reached No. 1 on Billboards Hot 100 charts.

With the No.1 single, Desiigner also became the first New York City rapper since Jay-Z to be on top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

The 18-year-old rapper that is now signed to Kanye’s G.O.O.D. Music imprint, announced he will be dropping a mixtape and an app in the coming weeks, be on the lookout.

N.W.A. REUNION AT COACHELLA
If you’ve been on earth the past two weeks you know Coachella weekend was in full effect from everyone talking about it…WE GET IT.

Ice Cube was one of the performers at the ‘chella and had one of the best performances along with former N.W.A. members he brought out: Dr. Dre, MC Ren and DJ Yella, as well as Kendrick Lamar to put the cherry on top.

It was really a sight to see as the supergroup performed classics like: “Straight Outta Compton,” “Dopeman,” and “Fuck The Police.”

MC Ren told Rolling Stone that the whole moment was great and “”We had fun. It felt like old times. It’s been a long, long stretch.”

If you were raised on hip-hop it was a historic thing to see. Hopefully, the group will bless more stages in the near future.
