Tonight Chance The Rapper will become the first ever independent artist to perform on NBC‘s Saturday Night Live, a huge accomplishment for any artist. While Chance fans cannot wait to see the Acid Rap rapper perform live, they may be in for another treat tonight as Chance sent out a possibly cryptic tweet in honor of tonight’s performance. “#acidrap brought Chicago, my fans and independents this far. #ChanceOnSNL #thirdmixtape” Chance wrote earlier today.

Considering 10 Day as Chance’s debut mixtape and his critically acclaimed Acid Rap as his second, Chance’s next tape will be his third. Is he hinting at a new mixtape coming tonight, in honor of his SNL performance? Many believed that Chance’s next project would be coming soon after his Family Matter Tours, so that puts us right in time… Chance The Rapper fans may be eating tonight!

Read Chance’s tweet below and cross your fingers for a new mixtape tonight! SNL airs tonight at 11:30/10:30 PM Central.

Today we have the next track and self-directed video from G.O.O.D. Music’s newest signee, HXLT. Kanye’s newest artist, formerly under the name Hollywood Holt, has left us all wondering what his new sound would be like, and he gave us a great sample of that earlier this year with his ‘Live To Death’ record. This time around we have ‘Guitar’, a track centered around HXLT’s guitar playing aspirations. Whether he can play the guitar, the flute, the drums, the triangle or whatever, it doesn’t matter because Holt has one hell of a voice that continues to surprise us!

Watch the official music video for ‘Guitar’ below.

Watch Ed Sheeran Give Private $2 “Peep Shows” in Australia

What if you could pay $2 dollars to get a private 30-second performance from Ed Sheeran, would you? Of course, right!? Apparently it’s not so obvious though, as fans in Melbourne, Australia were given the opportunity for a “Ed Sheeran peep show”. It’s not as dirty as it sounds, though. Instead of stripping down, Ed stripped down in a different way with Australian comedians Hamish & Andy, playing in a small room with just his guitar for the brave souls who decided to make the best investment they ever could.

After a couple hours, finally a curious couple decided to take the risk. In return they got to hear Ed Sheeran’s Grammy nominated song of the year, ‘Thinking Out Loud’ front and center. Watch Ed Sheeran’s $2 peep shows below!

Pusha T Wants to Make a G.O.O.D. Music Festival

Whenever a president steps foot into office, it always comes with a bunch of empty promises to get our hopes up, which only leaves us more disappointed in the end. Let’s hope the same isn’t true when that rule is applied to Kanye West founded music labels though, as rapper Pusha T, the new president of Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music, shared some huge aspirations on Apple‘s Beats 1 Radio today.

When talking about the direction he wants to take for G.O.O.D. Music, Push told Zane Lowe that he wants to make a G.O.O.D. Music festival. While this wouldn’t be the first of it’s kind, as we already have Drake’s OVO Fest and Tyler the Creator’s Camp FLOG GNAW, this one would surely be epic. Imagine Kanye West, Big Sean, Travis Scott, Pusha T, Kacy Hill and all their friends?!? The festival has the potential to be legendary.

Pusha T didn’t only talk about his music festival hopes though, he also teased fans about Kanye’s forthcoming and highly anticipated album Swish. “Kanye called me the other day and was very excited to tell me about his music,” said Pusha T on Beats 1 Radio. “I can’t say when it comes out but fans are in for a treat.” Let’s hope that means it’s coming real soon!

We said it time and time again, no one is better than their job than Nardwuar the Human Serviette. His interviews are on point and after every interaction he has with an artist, they are amazed (yet very confused) over how thorough Nardwuar’s research skills truly are. Nardwuar will tell you things about you that even your mother doesn’t know.

This time around Nardwuar landed a rare interview with rapper Travis Scott, who for the most part doesn’t do interviews. As always, the interview is awesome and hopefully this will be the much needed connection that Nardwuar needs to finally land a legendary interview with Kanye West. Fingers crossed!

Watch the full interview below. Doot Doola Doot Doo…

Yo Gotti Brings The “8 For 8 Tour” to The Metro in Chicago

Yo Gotti

Last night, rapper Yo Gotti brought his secret tour of 8 shows, 8 cities and only 8 dollars, “The 8 For 8 Tour”, to The Metro in Chicago, IL. Now over half way through his tour, which kicked off December 1st in New York, Gotti will hit stops in St. Louis, Oakland, and his hometown crowd in Memphis before the tour concludes. Last night though, it was all about the Windy City! Gotti put everything into his show last night, performing a number of records from his CM8: Any Hood America project, the newest installment of his Cocaine Muzik mixtape series, as well as a number of Yo Gotti’s fan favorites, including his 2014 hit ‘Errrbody’.

For a price of only $8 per ticket, it is more than an understatement to say everyone at The Metro got their money’s worth, so we sent our photographer Ariana LaBarrie to capture some of the show’s best moments.

Check out some of Ariana LaBarrie’s photos of Yo Gotti’s Chicago performance below!
