I don’t normally post on huge famous artists but I thought this was a great move. Drake recently released an album of his hit songs and one of them is “Jodeci Freestyle” that he did with J. Cole. In that track, J. Cole says:
Go check the numbers dummy, that’s just me gettin’ started I’m artistic, you n—as is autistic, retarded
Well Drake wasn’t having it and removed the lyric. They even had to have a joint press release! Cole apologized for being insensitive and all is safe and great in the world!
Las Vegas has a new festival in town. Day N Vegas happens for the first time this November 1 – 3 and will mainly have Hip-Hop artists. Here’s the top 3 groups performing each night:
Friday – J.Cole (headline), Lil Uzi Vert, Juice Wrld
Saturday – Travis Scott (headline), Migos, 21 Savage
Sunday – Kendrick Lamar (headline), Tyler, The Creator, Schoolboy Q
Other artists joining in is Miguel, Lil Nas X, Brockhampton, Kali Uchis and many others. Tickets don’t go on sale until June 28 but if you like, you can sign up for pre-sale tickets when they become available at: DayNVegas
For me, there are really only a few hip-hop artists in this Festival. The rest are Soundcloud ‘rappers’. I mean, there are literally 12 ‘lil’ rappers listed on the lineup. Looks like its going to be a very young crowd.
