Earlier this month we wrapped up our amazing experience during our first year at Coachella. The weekend was surreal, as music fans saw performances from Drake, Lil B, The Weeknd, Tyler the Creator, Toro y Moi, Action Bronson, Raekwon & Ghostface Killah, Vic Mensa, Run The Jewels and many more! While we posted a small selection of our favorite photos last weekend, to share our experience with our readers, we will be posting new photo galleries from Coachella EVERY DAY FOR THE NEXT MONTH. We saw over 30 great performances this past weekend and we will share our collection of photos of each until we run out!
Check out our seventeenth Coachella Photo Series, of Lykke Li’s performance below.
Earlier today Chance The Rapper shared a photo of himself and Kanye West, making fans excited for a potential (and now speculated) collaboration. Well that wasn’t the only good news for Chance fans, because during a concert for Michigan State University tonight, Chance announced to fans that his highly anticipated album Surf (with The Social Experiment) is coming THIS WEEK.
Time to get excited because the surf waves are almost here! Chance has been working with Andre 3000, Frank Ocean and J. Cole (just to name a few), and while we don’t know a complete or exact list of features on Surf, we can definitely expect a quality follow-up to Acid Rap with some great features as well.
[UPDATE:Since our original post, Chance has posted another (different) photo of him and Kanye (shown below) on his Instagram with the caption: “When I dream of Heaven I don’t see sharp edges.” A potential song lyric?]
[UPDATE 2:Chance has also announced that his new album with The Social Experiment, Surf, is coming this week.]
Last year, Chance The Rapper finally met Kanye West. While fans of both Chicago artists were excited, no one was more excited than Chance himself, as he has never hesitated to let people know that he is a huge Kanye fan. The silver lining of the two meeting each other last year is that it wasn’t at the studio, it was at the Made In America music festival, where artists cross paths and pose for pictures all the time, and there was no reason to suggest that the two would collaborate in the near future.
Today though, we have a new photo of Chance and Kanye. And while we can’t be certain this picture is from today, you will notice that you can see Kanye’s new So Help Me God tattoo, that he got in March. Are they working on new music? Did Kanye’s ‘Wolves’ collaborator and Chance’s longtime friend Vic Mensa get the two together? Have the two possibly been working together for awhile now? We have heard rumors for awhile that Kanye is working with another big Chicago artist. We won’t speculate too much but we will keep our fingers crossed!
Check out the new photo of Chance and Mr. West below!
A lot has changed for Milwaukee rapper WebsterX since the release of his visuals for his ‘doomsday’ track. He has gained attention from Pigeons and Planes, Complex and some of the biggest music publications in the country, he performed at SXSW, and now we have his new song, titled ‘Lately’. “(The song) more embodies all the new gained attention I got from ‘doomsday’ and the interesting change of pace I experienced, (that’s the) reason why it’s called ‘Lately,'” WebsterX told Complex. If you’re a fan of rap, definitely check out the new mellow track, produced by Mic Kellogg.
Listen to ‘Lately’ below, and check out our photos of WebsterX’s performance at The Rave in Milwaukee.

Wisconsin Chance The Rapper fans, have no fear, as Chance WILL NOT be cancelling his upcoming and headlining performance this weekend at the University of Wisconsin’s Revelry Music and Arts Festival. Although festival representatives have been staying busy this past week, telling fans that Chance was still scheduled to perform despite Chance’s tweet saying that his illness was preventing him from performing at his upcoming shows, Chance took to Twitter less than an hour ago to say that he is feeling 100% and “ready to kill every show this week.” Get hyped Madison!
This year’s festival, which takes place on UW’s campus on May 2nd (the same day as Madison’s infamous Mifflin Block Party), will feature performances from The Chainsmokers, Mick Jenkins, Alunageorge, Until the Ribbon Breaks, Nick Hakim, and more! 22 artists… 10 hours… 3 stages.
Check out the lineup poster and set times below and get your tickets now!
Did you meet Big Sean recently? Do you attend Indiana University? Well if you answered yes to both of these questions, you may be disappointed to learn that you probably did not meet the real Mr. Supa Dupa, G.O.O.D. Music‘s Big Sean.
Perhaps out of envy, or more likely to hilariously troll unsuspecting fans, a Big Sean doppelganger threw on a pair of shades and a Louis Vuitton belt, put on a Detroit Tigers hat, got a replica Big Sean lion chain, and walked around campus with his fake entourage. From the photos that surfaced online, this guy fool a lot of people! Sorry @kjforee, Big Sean does love Chipotle, but you didn’t see him there.
Check out photos from unsuspecting fans with “Fake Big Sean” below.
