Kelela

From massive headliner Jay-Z to rising political punks Downtown Boys, here are 15 artists we recommend catching at this weekend’s Made In America festival.

R&B boundary pusher Kelela has been making quality music for a while, with 2013’s CUT 4 ME mixtape, 2015’s Hallucinogen EP, and a handful of notable collaborations (including with Solange, Danny Brown, Teengirl Fantasy, and more), and now she’s finally set to release her debut album…

The stacked lineup also includes Migos, The Internet, Syd, Earl Sweatshirt, Vince Staples, Kamaiyah, Kelis, Justice, Roy Ayers, and still much more.

Warm Up at MoMA PS1 continued on Saturday (8/12) with a particularly exciting lineup of hip hop and dance music. Back to back sets from A$AP Ferg (who brought out A$AP Twelvvy and ventured into the crowd) and Cardi B drove the huge, hyped crowd into a frenzy.

“Boutique” music festival Full Moon returned to Governors Island with an eclectic lineup that included Vic Mensa, Kelela, Connan Mockasin, Abra, TOPS, Awesome Tapes From Africa, and others.

One of the hottest tickets at this year’s Red Bull Music Academy was Solange: An Ode To, which took place at the Guggenheim Museum on Thursday (5/17) over two intimate performances…

Hundred Waters‘ fourth annual FORM Arcosanti festival went down this past weekend (May 12-14) in Arizona. This year, Hundred Waters co-curated the lineup with Moses Sumney, and it boasted tons of impressive names…

The beachside fest takes place at NYC’s Governors Island in July.

For Humanz, Damon Albarn turns the spotlight over to his guests. A handful of these guests rise to the occasion, but the finished project plays out more like a playlist than an album.
