Kehlani AND 6Lack are a duo that should continue working together. their voices mesh so well together with the energy they put out will have the audience one wave. In the music video for “RPG,” they both give their perspective on why the relationship is failing, in a single space room. Watch the video down below to catch the vibe.
NYC’s iconic Webster Hall will reopen later this month. After much renovation, Webster Hall will host Jay Z as it’s first performer since the reopening on April 26th. Jay Z’s show is called “B-Sides 2” and will feature a setlist full of rarities. His first time playing “B-Sides 2” was an exclusive event at Terminal 5 for his Tidal subscribers.
American Express card members will have access to limited tickets on Thursday April 18th and general admission starting at Friday April 19th.
Concerning the renovation, Jay Marciano, CEO of AEG, said that the goal was to maintain the integrity of Webster Hall while at the same time modernizing it to provide the best experience possible for concert goers.
Many have performed at the historic venue before including Patti Smith, The Broken Social Scene, and one of my favorite bands, Built to Spill. When asked about the decision to have Jay Z as the first performer, CEO of BSE Global Brett Yormak said “When we were thinking about who would be the right choice to open this legendary venue, we knew it had to be a world-famous New York City icon. No one fits that description better than JAY-Z, who will join an unparalleled list of celebrated performers who have played Webster Hall.”
I’m excited to write this article because one of my favorite rappers, Childish Gambino, performed a new, unreleased song for his headlining set at Coachella on Friday. In the clip, Gambino called for the audience to chant with him, and then started a song with a heavy beat and trippy instrumentation. Along with performing other recent songs “It’s Summertime”, “Feels like Summer”, and of course “This is America”, the talented Donald Glover sang a cover version of the Gnarls Barkley classic, “Crazy”.
Gambino has been pretty hot recently, without even releasing a full album. His single, “This is America”, won multiple Grammys: Record of the Year, Video of the Year, Best Rap Performance, and Song of the Year. Right after his Coachella performance ended, Gambino’s film Guava Island came out on Amazon Prime. He and Rihanna are the co-stars.
Childish Gambino has been getting a lot of hype and his upcoming album, set to release later this year, should have a lot of press. I’m really liking his current sound, which is very R&B based but also has hard hitting beats. I’m probably going to be streaming his album constantly when it comes out.

![[News] Letter by Barack Obama read at Nipsey Hussle memorial service](https://i0.wp.com/sloppyvinyl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/downloadobama.jpeg?resize=277%2C182&ssl=1)
Former president Barack Obama wrote a letter for the late Nipsey Hussle that was read aloud at Hussle’s memorial service on Thursday. Obama asked hip hop journalist Karen Civil to do the honor of reading the letter at the service that took place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Out of respect and mourning, Civil stepped up to the stage in an all white dressed and a prominent blue hankerchief in her pocket. The reading of the letter was a surprise and after Civil announced who was the writer of the letter she was about to read, the crowd erupted in applause.
Obama praised Nipsey for seeing the potential to make a positive impact in his neighborhood. An excerpt includes: “While most folks look at the Crensh neighborhood where he grew up and see only gangs, bullets and despair, Nipsey saw potential. He saw hope. He saw a community that, even though its flaws, taught him to always keep going. His voice to invest in that community rather than ignore it — to build a skills-training center and a co-working space in Crenshaw; to lift up the Eritrean-American community; to set an example for young people to follow — is a legacy worthy of celebration. I hope his memory inspires more work in Crenshaw and communities like it. Michelle and I send our sympathies to Lauren, Emani, Kross and the entire Asghedom family and to all those who loved Nipsey.”
Karen Civil posted a full copy of the letter on her Twitter which you can see below:

Wiz Khalifa dropped the trailer for a new five-part documentary, Wiz Khalifa: Behind The Cam, that will show fans the backstory behind his rise to fame. The short trailer shows a few interviews with Wiz’s friends and family who will provide insight behind his background and rise to fame. The five episodes will be available in full on April 17th.
The title, “Behind the cam”, is a reference to Khalifa’s birth name, Cameron Thomaz. Undoubtedly, that won’t be the only information that is provided behind Wiz Khalifa’s background. When talking about his inspiration for the coming docuseries, Wiz said, “Taylor Gang has been with me since the start, so I wanted to make something to show just how far we’ve come.” For those that are not aware, Taylor Gang is the record company founded by Wiz Khalifa.
