It’s been an interesting year to be a Travis Scott fan; while La Flame has dropped a handful of slappers featuring top-shelf production and features from notable contemporaries such as Young Thug and Future, the repeated delay of his debut record, Rodeo, has found listeners’ impatience at an all time high. Originally scheduled to hit stores in March, the record was pushed back multiple times before Scott finally confirmed a September 4 release date. While #travishive is rightfully buzzing over the confirmation, average listeners might wonder what makes Rodeo worth the wait. Thus, we’ve compiled a list of five reasons why all hip-hop fans should be chomping at the bit to get their ticket to the rodeo. Hit the jump below to get started!

Mamby on the Beach is just a couple weeks away, and like real estate, it’s all about location, location, location! Grant Park is cool and all but this year a Chicago music festival is inviting some big artists to the Windy City’s scenic Oakwood Beach on July 11th and 12th (get your tickets here). This year the 18-and-up festival will see performances from Empire of the Sun, Passion Pit, Zhu, Cashmere Cat, Phantogram, Cherub, Art Department and many more! And if for some reason you don’t enjoy a nice lakefront breeze, the party doesn’t stop when the festival gates close, as some of Chicago’s best venues will be hosting the official after parties all night long.

Continue to our list of the “5 Artists We’re Most Excited to See at Mamby on the Beach 2015” at the link below, and listen to The Early Registration’s official Mamby on the Beach playlist while your at it!

Full House

Have Lamborghini Mercy! With the official announcement that Netflix has ordered a 13-episode revival/spinoff of the classic ’90s sitcom “Full House”, now titled “Fuller House”, we got to thinking… what if rappers were Full House character? Who would be who? If Kanye West took a Facebook “Which Full House Character Are You?”, who would he get?

Want us to do the thinking for you? You got it, dude! We have reflected and decided which rappers best fit which classic Full House characters. Hit the jump for our complete list.

Is it December yet? Not that we miss the cold weather, but we definitely miss making Year-End Lists! So in anticipation of our future and complete best verses of 2015 list, we had one of our writers make up a list of his 10 favorite verses of 2015 (so far). Remember, it’s just one writer that’s getting our future list started, and spoiler alert there is no Kendrick Lamar on our first draft. Either way, it goes to show how good 2015 has been so far, and with some of the year’s most anticipated albums still to come (i.e. So Help Me God), we can’t even imagine what our list will look like come December!

Feel free to let us know how we should adjust our rap verse power rankings, on Twitter (@TheEarlyReg).

Revelry Music & Arts Festival: A 2015 Artists Guide

We just got back from Coachella, and already we are getting excited to travel to our next music festival. While the next fest on our radar is definitely on a smaller scale, that isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Ever since the 2013 announcement of Madison, Wisconsin’s Revelry Music & Arts Festival, I have been a fan. For years the live artist recruiting by the University of Wisconsin was disappointing, and this is coming from a Badger of seven long years. Revelry changed that, balancing a student-run organization’s budget by drawing in some of the biggest emerging names across several different genres. And now that I have since graduated, I am excited to return as a photographer and journalist. Continue reading Revelry Music & Arts Festival: A 2015 Artists Guide →

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.
