[Music] Woodstock 50 Has Been Cancelled

[Music] Woodstock 50 Has Been Cancelled

Billboard is reporting that Woodstock’s 50th anniversary festival will no longer be happening. The festival was initially set for mid-August, but due to production issues, the shows must be cancelled.

“As a result and after careful consideration, Dentsu Aegis Network’s Amplifi Live, a partner of Woodstock 50, has decided to cancel the festival.  As difficult as it is, we believe this is the most prudent decision for all parties involved,” as per the statement issued to Billboard.

The festival lineup was pretty stacked with headliners including The Killers, Dead and Co., and Jay-Z. Other notable artists that were suppose to be featured during the show were Miley Cyrus, Chance The Rapper, The Black Keys, Halsey, Earl Sweatshirt, Maggie Rogers, Leon Bridges, Run The Jewels, and many more.

The festival representatives were concerned about capacity issues with the venue. No tickets were sold in advance due to the problems with setting up the logistics of the whole event.

As of now, the entire festival is dead. A lot of money has been put into getting performers to sign onto the show, so there may be something else that comes from this news. If more information comes to the front, we will provide an update accordingly.

[News] Legendary Filmmaker John Singleton to Be Taken Off Life Support

[News] Legendary Filmmaker John Singleton to Be Taken Off Life Support

Legendary filmmaker John Singleton is going to be taken off life support, according to a statement from his family. The director suffered a severe stroke last week and has been on life support since.

“It is with heavy hearts we announce that our beloved son, father and friend, John Daniel Singleton will be taken off life support today. This was an agonizing decision, one that our family made, over a number of days, with the careful counsel of John’s doctors,” reads the family statement.

Singleton, just 51 years old, is one of the most accomplished directors of all-time, most notably from his feature debut Boyz n the Hood. The film earned him a pair of Oscar nominations, making him both the youngest and first African-American to earn a best director nom.

The director/producer’s most recent project was FX’s Snowfall, a series that explored Los Angeles in the early 1980’s and the crack cocaine epidemic during that time. Singleton served as the show’s creator and executive producer for the first two seasons, with the third season set to be out sometime later this year.

Truly a heartbreaking development for such a talented man. Prayers go out to John Singleton and his friends and family.

[Music] New Rico Nasty Mixtape Produced by Kenny Beats

[Music] New Rico Nasty Mixtape Produced by Kenny Beats

Rico Nasty dropped her second mixtape under the Atlantic Records umbrella late last night. The mixtape is produced by Kenny Beats and some of the tracks on this things are crazy. The track “Hatin,” features a sample of “Dirt Off Your Shoulder” and it somehow works really well on its own, despite own iconic that beat is.

It’s a nice compact mixtape, coming in at just nine songs and 19 minutes total– perfect for her style. On a base level, this mixtape– at the very least– is an adrenaline shot to the ears. Kenny produced the hell out of this mixtape and deserves your attention.

Give the mixtape and let us know if you think it’s big fire or big trash. Follow us on IG and Twitter @SloppyVinyl to receive all updates on news and other content.

[Music] Kevin Abstract Releases Full Album: ARIZONA BABY

[Music] Kevin Abstract Releases Full Album: ARIZONA BABY

Kevin Abstract released his second studio album titled ARIZONA BABY. The record is his first solo effort in three years, and is produced by long time collaborator Romil Hemnani and Bleachers front man, Jack Antonoff.

Abstract released the album in experimental fashion– releasing three songs at a time each week, before rolling out the full length version. It’s a gigantic leap in quality all around for the 21-year old, L.A. based rapper. The record is a personal essay where Abstract reflects on his own sexuality and the effects its had his past, as well as his personal relationships with friends– most notably on the track “Corpus Christi,” where he divulges on the removal of former bandmate Ameer Vann.

The new album has revised versions of previously released tracks and features some members of Brockhampton. The new mixes and masters of the songs make the complete project flow very smoothly from front to back. While the tracks do deal with some more serious lyrics than a standard Brockhampton project, a good bulk of the songs are perfect for the summer.
