We already told you about the event, now let’s tell you about the people.
Amazon Music and Live Nation have announced plans to livestream The Root’s “A Night Of Symphonic Hip Hop” concert taking place in Dallas, Texas.
Last Thursday, we got the opportunity to meet up with M1 of Dead Prez, Bonnot, and Irie Child. We discussed their recent collaboration on their song “Open,” a fusion of reggae and hip hop. Here is what transpired during that conversation:
Charli XCX premiered her new single ‘Boys’ this afternoon. The British pop singer, known for being featured on hit songs like ‘Fancy’ is back with some new heat and this time she brought a big boy gang along. The video features a long list of boys we might all be guilty of fan girling over.
This Wednesday night at the Ace Hotel, new artist Chaz French gave us a sneak peek performance into his newest album “True Colors”.
It’s about that time again! Keeping up with Toronto, TRIPSIXX was last seen turning up the scene with his single “Casino”. Now he’s back at it again, announcing a brand new tape called Metal Gear Tape via his Instagram.
“Casino” did numbers and had the hipsters in the city turnt up with its boastful rhymes about flexing on his frenemies letting them know that he pretty much does his own thang. But it is hardly new to him, his project We Own The Knight included some of his best work. He also dropped a mosh-pit anthem “Y-3” featuring his fellow label boss Roy Woods.

Last year, Hypebeast aptly labeled him the Hood Bryson Tiller & HNHH compared his music to Travi$ Scott and Young Thug.
Look out for his project coming soon. Judging from the timing of this news, probably sooner than later.
Playboi Carti has shared the official new music video for “Magnolia,” the third single from his debut mixtape Playboi Carti.
Brampton, Ontario crooner Roy Woods returns to the blogs with a brand new video for “Instinct” featuring MadeinTYO. The song is off his Nocturnal EP which dropped last year. This is a follow-up to his video “Love You” which took over the internet in April.
Singer, Faith Evans kicked off the BET Awards weekend with a star-studded after party to celebrate the hip hop legend that is Biggie Smalls and the release of her album, The King & I.
OVO’s Creative Director Oliver El-Khatib has announced a playlist curated by him for Louis Vuitton‘s Spring-Summer ’18 collection. The playlist includes new music from the OVO Sound label. Along with the DJ set, Drake premiered a brand new song titled “Signs”. Produced by OVO’s sound smith 40. The song premiered during Louis Vuitton’s fashion show earlier in Paris which you can hear at the 5m 55s mark in the clip below.
As far as the direction of the entire show goes, it was an interesting mix this year. The collection itself consisted of a variety of stunning pieces; a few fanny packs, some signature LV handbags, various overflowing belts, Hawaiian shirts, large drapey coats which compliment the brightly patterned shirts and vests. Ripstop pants, spandex shorts, the occasional jogger and oversized dress pants finish off the collection. Other accessories included bucket hats and sandals that added extra pizzaz to the line-up.
Current Men’s Artistic Director for LV, Kim Jones‘ choice of color palette this year was bold and bright with the exception of a few olives, whites, black and grays, which didn’t dull down the vision at all, adding a rather pristine balance. The 37-year-old designer’s future is looking promising as he continues to shock people with his creative outbreaks which began with his Louis Vuitton x Supreme 2017 fall/winter show.
Check out all the looks after the jump.
