Off the new soundtrack for “Magic Mike XXL”, Donald Glover (aka Childish Gambino), who also has a role in the upcoming film, contributed a dope cover of Bruno Mars’ record ‘Marry You’. What sounds like could have been a track from his latest project, Kauai, Gambino’s spin on ‘Marry You’ definitely delivers. The official soundtrack also features Jeremih, 112, Genuine, Lil Wayne, Glass Animals and many more!

Royal Blood is your favorite rock band’s new favorite rock band. The English duo, which is comprised of Mike Kerr (bass/vocals) and drummer Ben Thatcher, only formed a couple years ago but already they have huge co-signs from the Arctic Monkeys, the Foo Fighters, The Script and Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page, just to name a few. Their biggest single to date, ‘Figure It Out’, from their debut and self-titled album, goes hard and rocks as much as any 5-man rock band. Mike and Ben carry the weight and pressure that the Royal Blood name already holds in its huge expectations, but you wouldn’t guess it from their persona. We sat down with the guys this past month at Bonnaroo to get to know the laid back and confident rockers with a sense of humor.

It’s taking a break today, but Milwaukee’s Summerfest 2015, the World’s Largest Music Festival, has gotten off to a great start. Unlike many other premiere music festivals, Summerfest (which runs until July 5th) brings an especially diverse list of performers to Milwaukee’s lakefront every year, creating for a festival where you can see Kanye West (who performed in 2011) share the same stage as Peter Gabriel and Kid Rock. So to get things started for The Early Registration’s first year at Summerfest, we had to catch a wide variety of acts all festival long.

Check out our Summerfest Day 5 photos below, of Andy Grammer (interview coming soon), Ryn Weaver, The New Pornographers and Summerfest’s most controversial booking, DJ Paris Hilton.

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!

Following the video for his powerful record ‘God’s Whisper’, Raury has released his new music video for ‘God’s Whisper”s darker sequel, ‘Devil’s Whisper’. Starting with Raury introducing himself  on stage to a small crowd, the intimate performance transitions into a montage where Raury escapes some of the world’s temptations and evils. This one tops his music videos to date, as the young Atlanta rapper/singer easily delivered one of the best videos of 2015.

Drake goes 0 to 100 real quick, but it took him a minute to finally make a track like ‘100’ with The Game. It was about time that Drizzy and the former G-Unit rapper team up again since The Game’s 2011 LP, The R.E.D. Album ,with ‘Good Girls Go Bad’. Both rappers deliver on this one (with Drake providing the hook), and the soulful sample is amazing!

Listen to The Game’s ‘100’ ft. Drake below.
