Last night, the Death Grips fanbase was set ablaze after the band’s alleged Twitter account revealed that their long-awaited follow-up to niggas on the moon, Jenny Death (part 2 of 2 of the double album the powers that b), would finally be coming out March 31. Along with the release date announcement, the band also revealed that the album would be up for pre-order on March 17, tour dates would be revealed March 24, and the tickets for the tour would be on sale starting March 27. This move is similar to one thatArcade Fire pulled back in July 2013.

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.

Peep the video below and check out rapper Jef Jonsin’s music here.

We aren’t sure what the track is for, when it was recorded, how it leaked, or even its title… but a new Jay Electronica track has surfaced online. Although the leak isn’t the best quality, fans have been anxious for new music from Jay Electronica for years, ever since the New Orleans rapper signed to Jay-Z’s Roc Nation in 2010. The lyrics are hard and the record even has a sample from Jay-Z, which all makes us even more anxious for Jay Electronica’s debut project on Roc Nation. Stay tuned as we learn more about the track and await a CDQ version, but until then stream it below.
