It's officially festival season and the battle of the lineups have begun. Broccoli City Fest makes its way as a front runner with its announcement of a jam-packed line up including 6lack, Ella Mai, Lil Baby, Gunna, and more with headlining acts Childish Gambino and Lil Wayne.

This year's festival is hosted in DC's Fedex Field on April 26 through the 27th making up a weekend full of festivities. Along with its stellar list of performers, the weekend is set to host a 5k run, panels, discussions and more.

Tickets go on sale today, Friday January 18th here.

itsChief drops off his EP of the same name featuring eleven records with Young Lyxx hopping on a few tracks. Stream the project above and let us know if you're feeling it. 

"What's Good" is the debut single from Jamaica-based artist, Brittny. Her beautiful vocal range brings life to this smooth and relaxing R&B with contemplative lyrics about the struggle in not losing oneself in another. She speaks of the hope and desperation that we all can relate to when it comes to a relationship struggling to find its way through. Expect to hear much more from this rising R&B powerhouse in 2019.

I had the chance to sit down with Coop Poppy and explore a little more about him as a person and an artist. He discusses his latest single, Sho'nuff, growing up in the city of Philadelphia and learning to express himself differently through music.

2x (two times) sheds some light on his upbringing in the city and what led him to his current position as an artist. He says he initially started making music solely for his neighborhood (just something to keep the hood motivated.) As his music grew, so did his fan base. The 26-year-old has tore down stages across the city and the nation.

Coop poppy also shares his thoughts on realistically maneuvering the music industry (if you’re in it, you already know about the politics of the “the game.” It’s a game of chess.)
The uptown rapper has worked with some of the hottest producers, these names may ring a bell: Maaly Raw, DJ Tizz, Dougie on the Beat, and Infamous Rell to name a few. In the interview he gives us the drop on new music with long time confidant, Kur, a single with Drama, and Fredo Santana's close friend and member of Glory Boyz Entertainment,
Gino Marley.



Big $lime has been a very busy rapper, check out the interview above and follow Coop Poppy to stay in the loop with his latest releases.
