This weekend ‘Lemme Freak’ rapper Lil Dicky invited us to the Midwest leg of his Professional Rapper tour. Traveling to Madison’s Majetic Theatre and the Bottom Lounge in Chicago, The Early Registration‘s Dan Garcia captured shots of the weekend’s best moments. Although a picture says a thousand words, photos were not enough to help capture the energy that LD brought to both shows, so we had to get some footage as well. Watch our tour recap with Lil Dicky below: full of lap dances, crowd surfing, pizza parties and more! And if LD is coming to a city near you, make sure you get your tickets before they sell out!

What If..
Drake Brings Out a Tyga Hologram

It has become a Coachella tradition for its performers to bring out big name artists for surprise appearances. Drake has made it a tradition of his own to bring out surprise guests, no matter where he is. In the past, Drizzy has brought out Kanye West, Eminem, 50 Cent, Jay-Z, Justin Bieber, Lil Wayne, TLC, Stevie Wonder, A$AP Rocky, J. Cole, Ma$e, Lauryn Hill… need we go on? So we can’t even begin to imagine who Drake will bring out for arguably the biggest live performance of his career, as he headlines the closing night at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival next month. Correction… we can imagine it. And we did! Hit the jump to check out our photoshopped fantasy headlines of the absolute best scenarios for how Drake’s set can go next month.

5 Musician Doppelgangers That Need to Collaborate

Doppleganger

There quite a few musicians who look like they be brothers or sisters, and even some that look practically identical. You pretty much can’t watch a Toro y Moi video on YouTube without seeing at least a few people make a Donald Glover (Childish Gambino) related joke in the comment section. So we wondered what it would be like if some of these doppelgangers got in the studio and actually made a song together. Check out our list of the five musician doppelgangers that need to work together, with some that could maybe happen one day and some which definitely aren’t as likely.

Travis Scott and Young Thug

In what may have been the hypest concert that Wisconsin has ever seen, G.O.O.D. Music’s Travis Scott and Rich Gang rapper Young Thug brought their energetic Rodeo Tour to The Rave in Milwaukee. After a turnt set by Atlanta producer/DJ Metro Boomin, to keep the crowd live, Scott and Thugger tag teamed sets, each performing a few songs at a time, and also performing a number of their collaborations together. Possibly the highlight of the night was when the two performed Travis Scott’s track ‘Mamacita’, off Scott’s Days Before Rodeo project (one of our top projects of 2014). Check out our photos below, as The Early Registration was there to catch the best moments of the night, and if they are coming to a city near you do not miss out.
