And while celebrating might not be top of mind for many at a time when trans civil rights are under attack, the LGBTQ+ community has a long history of using the dance floor as a place to connect and gather strength in difficult moments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

(The video opens with a poem by a Palestinian American writer, and Kehlani performs in front of a Palestinian flag.) Kehlani said she struggled with keeping tabs on the war in Gaza and watching friends struggle with depression because of them “bearing witness to a genocide.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In a whole new scope of ‘Wow, my safety, my livelihood, my career, how I take care of myself, how I take care of my family, how I feed my child,’ All of this is endangered,” she said. “For a while, I felt like I was alone. … I had community leaders. I had activists. But I didn’t have another person in my world that I could be like ’What happens when you get threatened at this rate?’ Everything could crash and burn because you’re just being a person.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Kehlani stands firm in their beliefs, hoping to inspire others — including fellow artists and entertainers — to speak out fearlessly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the Grammy nominations validate anything, I hope people see that we shouldn’t be scared to speak about anything that (could be) threatening to our careers,” she said. “I still went on a tour. … post speaking up for Palestine. If all of us had stuck together, who knows what kind of further change could happen.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

But this year, she’s giving the holidays a bold new twist by collaborating with rapper GloRilla on “\u003cspan class=\"LinkEnhancement\">\u003ca class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4yw09LS_oU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\">Xmas Time\u003c/a>\u003c/span>,” which flips the script on traditional carols.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I never imagined I’d be on a trap Christmas song,” said Kehlani, who noted that she didn’t think twice when GloRilla’s team reached out about teaming up on the festive, bass-thumping track that released last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m such a fan of GloRilla in any shape, way or form,” she said. “She could’ve said she was making an Easter song and I would’ve been like ‘Fantastic. Girl, let’s do it.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How Kehlani managed mental health while being a Palestinian supporter\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Despite warnings to protect their career, Kehlani used their music and platform to boldly support Palestinians, marching alongside thousands at a \u003cspan class=\"LinkEnhancement\">\u003ca class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" href=\"https://www.instagram.com/reel/CybHgVDOiPi/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\">pro-Palestinian rally in Los Angeles\u003c/a>\u003c/span> last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The singer inspired followers to rally behind the cause, but the weight of activism took a quiet toll on their mental health and livelihood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The hardest part of it for me was I had to maintain my sanity,” said Kehlani, who this year released the “\u003cspan class=\"LinkEnhancement\">\u003ca class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpI7ekFG8A0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\">Next 2 U\u003c/a>\u003c/span>” music video. (The video opens with a poem by a Palestinian American writer, and Kehlani performs in front of a Palestinian flag.) Kehlani said she struggled with keeping tabs on the war in Gaza and watching friends struggle with depression because of them “bearing witness to a genocide.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In a whole new scope of ‘Wow, my safety, my livelihood, my career, how I take care of myself, how I take care of my family, how I feed my child,’ All of this is endangered,” she said. “For a while, I felt like I was alone. … I had community leaders. I had activists. But I didn’t have another person in my world that I could be like ’What happens when you get threatened at this rate?’ Everything could crash and burn because you’re just being a person.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Kehlani stands firm in their beliefs, hoping to inspire others — including fellow artists and entertainers — to speak out fearlessly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

One team representative described it as being “Warriors-inspired… \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/wnbagoldenstate/status/1790392163722772790\">a host of women warriors\u003c/a>.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fittingly, \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/itszenakeita/status/1790439492991529276\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">the team will be hosting a block party in front of Chase Center\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> on Saturday, May 18, from 2-6 p.m. with appearances from Kehlani, P-Lo and E-40. Team merchandise will already be available for the earliest diehard fans, as the Valkyries aren’t slated to play their first game until the 2025 season.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/wnbagoldenstate/status/1790376816840146993\">The Valkyries logo is minimalistic and clean\u003c/a>, with a violet crest anchored by the central tower of the Bay Bridge that flows into a winged V-shaped symbol. The bridge’s cables double as reinforced wings spreading outwards, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.wnba.com/news/gs-valkyries-2025-identity\">the five spaces on each side represent a total of ten players facing off\u003c/a> against each other.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/wnbagoldenstate/status/1790376816840146993\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The announcement was made at 5:30 a.m., later accompanied by \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/wnbagoldenstate/status/1790360287725674855\">a Kehlani-narrated video\u003c/a> — in which a camera flies over the Bay and into San Francisco’s streets with the sound of wings flapping in the background, alluding to the flying Nordic warrior that is the Valkyries’ namesake.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“This is where legends take flight,” says Kehlani, the Oakland singer whose early mixtapes \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cloud 19 \u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">and \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">You Should Be Here\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> evoke a similar vibe of high-flying, pink-clouded views overlooking San Francisco’s mighty skyline. “Our story has yet to be written,” she tells fans.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Despite its recent growth in popularity, the WNBA hasn’t added a team since 2008, so anticipation has been high. (Team owner Joe Lacob previously invested in women’s basketball with the short-lived San Jose Lasers in 1996, as part of the now-defunct American Basketball League.) \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Responses to the Valkyries’ name and logo seem to be overwhelmingly positive up to this point.

The actor, who grew up near Lake Merritt, turned 25 just three weeks before he died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While no cause of death was given, a statement from Cloud’s family said that “Angus was open about his battle with mental health and we hope that his passing can be a reminder to others that they are not alone and should not fight this on their own in silence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13932452']Cloud became a household name around the world in recent years thanks to his breakout role in the controversial TV show \u003cem>Euphoria\u003c/em>.

Given the near-impossible task of making a violent drug dealer a character to root for, Cloud went one step further and succeeded in making Fezco O’Neill the most lovable character in the whole show. Cloud brought an indescribable depth and well of emotion to the screen, despite delivering almost all of his lines in his naturally slow monotone. In Cloud’s masterful hands, a sly glance or a subtle shoulder hunch said more than any dialog could.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cloud’s \u003cem>Euphoria\u003c/em> co-star and fellow Oaklander \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/Cvaft3SL4Zr/\">Zendaya dedicated an Instagram post to him\u003c/a> on Tuesday. “Words are not enough to describe the infinite beauty that is Angus,” she wrote. “I’m so grateful I got the chance to know him in this life, to call him a brother, to see his warm kind eyes and bright smile, or hear his infectious cackle of a laugh.” She went on: “I’d like to remember him that way.

I was trying to convince them to make T-shirts and stuff out of it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Frost, watching Cloud become a respected actor and fashion VIP was surreal. “It was crazy to me to just know that this wavy kid who was somewhat of a wild young man was suddenly this international icon,” he said. “He was just a very kind, humble dude who was very sincerely into the art.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13932549\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13932549\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/Angus-Cloud-artwork-800x800.jpg\" alt=\"Four square graphics featuring graffiti-style lettering in bright colors.

A group of guys wore bowties and diapers in what I gathered was a “man baby” costume. A couple dressed as a lit-up Golden Gate Bridge complete with tulle fog.

The vibe at Kehlani’s Sutro Stage set at the same time was much more intimate, and she embraced it. “I know y’all came to a festival to dance and be crazy and mosh pit, but you know I make love songs,” she told the audience, which contained a notable number of couples in embrace. They began to sway when Kehlani sang the opening bars of the syrupy R&B track “Hate the Club.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Oakland native interspersed more recent radio singles like “Nights Like This” and “Ring,” her track with Cardi B, with earlier work that put her on the map. Tracks like “Distraction” and “CRZY” got big cheers from her hometown fans, many of whom have followed her since before her mixtape era. Kehlani performed with a full band, but rather than wow us with huge crescendos and guitar solos, they let her singularly warm voice be the star. The down-to-earth approach worked well, especially for the tender, queer love song “Honey,” which she introduced, in true Town fashion, by yelling “Where my gay bitches at?!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13905621\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2021/11/The-Egyptian-Lover-performs-at-Outside-Lands-on-Sunday-Oct.-31-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13905621\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/11/The-Egyptian-Lover-performs-at-Outside-Lands-on-Sunday-Oct.-31-3.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/11/The-Egyptian-Lover-performs-at-Outside-Lands-on-Sunday-Oct.-31-3-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/11/The-Egyptian-Lover-performs-at-Outside-Lands-on-Sunday-Oct.-31-3-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Egyptian Lover performs at Outside Lands on Sunday, Oct. 31. \u003ccite>(Estefany Gonzalez)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Egyptian Lover works his vinyl wizardry\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13905536']A DJ set from Egyptian Lover, an elder statesman of the first pillar of hip-hop, made a trip to the House by Heineken tent worth it, even if it meant missing the action on the big music stages. At his concerts, Egyptian Lover typically raps live and does tricks on his 808, but at Outside Lands he let the ones and twos do the talking. He spun b-boy classics from the electrofunk era he came up in, like “Planet Rock” and “Rock It, Don’t Stop It.” But he never played them straight, scratching, fading vocals in and out and creating a sonic collage by putting the needle to the groove. The 50 person or so audience was dancing it out—someone dressed as Mrs. Doubtfire was shaking their butt pads, a \u003ci>Squid Game\u003c/i> guy was doing the most and another person twerked so hard they slipped in the mud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13905593\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2021/11/Burna-Boy-performs-at-Outside-Lands-on-Sunday-Oct.-31.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13905593\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/11/Burna-Boy-performs-at-Outside-Lands-on-Sunday-Oct.-31.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/11/Burna-Boy-performs-at-Outside-Lands-on-Sunday-Oct.-31-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/11/Burna-Boy-performs-at-Outside-Lands-on-Sunday-Oct.-31-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Burna Boy performs at Outside Lands on Sunday, Oct. 31. \u003ccite>(Estefany Gonzalez)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Burna Boy leaves a powerful message\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The mood was sunny during Burna Boy’s set at the Twin Peaks stage, where he performed with a full band that got the crowd winding their hips to Afrobeats. The guitarist played breezy melodies; the horns ushered in a celebratory atmosphere. Thunderous drums added gravitas as the Nigerian superstar sang in his big, booming voice, and rapped on tracks that shared a vernacular with American hip-hop. Within the uptempo set, some songs in Burna Boy’s catalogue introduced a darker edge. “20 10 20,” a song he wrote in response to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13888379/oakland-artists-join-nigerias-endsars-movement-against-police-violence-from-afar\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Nigeria’s movement against corruption and police brutality\u003c/a>, marked an especially powerful moment as visuals depicting the country’s colonial history flashed on-screen. “Put one fist up and pump that shit because this is protest music,” Burna Boy said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13905589\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2021/11/Brittany-Howard-performs-at-Outside-Lands-on-Sunday-Oct.-31-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13905589\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/11/Brittany-Howard-performs-at-Outside-Lands-on-Sunday-Oct.-31-2.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/11/Brittany-Howard-performs-at-Outside-Lands-on-Sunday-Oct.-31-2-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/11/Brittany-Howard-performs-at-Outside-Lands-on-Sunday-Oct.-31-2-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Brittany Howard performs at Outside Lands on Sunday, Oct. 31. \u003ccite>(Estefany Gonzalez)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Brittany Howard’s sunset groove\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Outside Lands felt like \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/07/01/1010306918/summer-of-soul-questlove-movie-review-harlem-cultural-festival\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cem>Summer of Soul\u003c/em>\u003c/a> during Brittany Howard’s set, which took place at Lands End during the golden hour.

She and her band took their time to settle into the groove of each track, weaving together elements of R&B, funk and blues as the audience two-stepped along. Howard belted in her low alto, let out high notes in a falsetto and shouted impassioned ad libs in the vein of James Brown as gospel-style backup singers supported her with an angelic chorus. She ended the set with the uplifting track “Give It To Love,” a manifesto about kindness and connection that I’m pretty sure inspired everyone in the audience to do at least one good deed as they continued their day. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13905596\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

The vibe at Kehlani’s Sutro Stage set at the same time was much more intimate, and she embraced it. “I know y’all came to a festival to dance and be crazy and mosh pit, but you know I make love songs,” she told the audience, which contained a notable number of couples in embrace. They began to sway when Kehlani sang the opening bars of the syrupy R&B track “Hate the Club.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Oakland native interspersed more recent radio singles like “Nights Like This” and “Ring,” her track with Cardi B, with earlier work that put her on the map. Tracks like “Distraction” and “CRZY” got big cheers from her hometown fans, many of whom have followed her since before her mixtape era. Kehlani performed with a full band, but rather than wow us with huge crescendos and guitar solos, they let her singularly warm voice be the star. The down-to-earth approach worked well, especially for the tender, queer love song “Honey,” which she introduced, in true Town fashion, by yelling “Where my gay bitches at?!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13905621\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2021/11/The-Egyptian-Lover-performs-at-Outside-Lands-on-Sunday-Oct.-31-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13905621\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/11/The-Egyptian-Lover-performs-at-Outside-Lands-on-Sunday-Oct.-31-3.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/11/The-Egyptian-Lover-performs-at-Outside-Lands-on-Sunday-Oct.-31-3-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/11/The-Egyptian-Lover-performs-at-Outside-Lands-on-Sunday-Oct.-31-3-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Egyptian Lover performs at Outside Lands on Sunday, Oct. 31. \u003ccite>(Estefany Gonzalez)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Egyptian Lover works his vinyl wizardry\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

At his concerts, Egyptian Lover typically raps live and does tricks on his 808, but at Outside Lands he let the ones and twos do the talking. He spun b-boy classics from the electrofunk era he came up in, like “Planet Rock” and “Rock It, Don’t Stop It.” But he never played them straight, scratching, fading vocals in and out and creating a sonic collage by putting the needle to the groove. The 50 person or so audience was dancing it out—someone dressed as Mrs. Doubtfire was shaking their butt pads, a \u003ci>Squid Game\u003c/i> guy was doing the most and another person twerked so hard they slipped in the mud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13905593\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2021/11/Burna-Boy-performs-at-Outside-Lands-on-Sunday-Oct.-31.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13905593\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/11/Burna-Boy-performs-at-Outside-Lands-on-Sunday-Oct.-31.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/11/Burna-Boy-performs-at-Outside-Lands-on-Sunday-Oct.-31-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/11/Burna-Boy-performs-at-Outside-Lands-on-Sunday-Oct.-31-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Burna Boy performs at Outside Lands on Sunday, Oct. 31. \u003ccite>(Estefany Gonzalez)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Burna Boy leaves a powerful message\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The mood was sunny during Burna Boy’s set at the Twin Peaks stage, where he performed with a full band that got the crowd winding their hips to Afrobeats. The guitarist played breezy melodies; the horns ushered in a celebratory atmosphere. Thunderous drums added gravitas as the Nigerian superstar sang in his big, booming voice, and rapped on tracks that shared a vernacular with American hip-hop. Within the uptempo set, some songs in Burna Boy’s catalogue introduced a darker edge. “20 10 20,” a song he wrote in response to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13888379/oakland-artists-join-nigerias-endsars-movement-against-police-violence-from-afar\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Nigeria’s movement against corruption and police brutality\u003c/a>, marked an especially powerful moment as visuals depicting the country’s colonial history flashed on-screen. “Put one fist up and pump that shit because this is protest music,” Burna Boy said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13905589\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2021/11/Brittany-Howard-performs-at-Outside-Lands-on-Sunday-Oct.-31-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13905589\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/11/Brittany-Howard-performs-at-Outside-Lands-on-Sunday-Oct.-31-2.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/11/Brittany-Howard-performs-at-Outside-Lands-on-Sunday-Oct.-31-2-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/11/Brittany-Howard-performs-at-Outside-Lands-on-Sunday-Oct.-31-2-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Brittany Howard performs at Outside Lands on Sunday, Oct. 31. \u003ccite>(Estefany Gonzalez)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Brittany Howard’s sunset groove\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Outside Lands felt like \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/07/01/1010306918/summer-of-soul-questlove-movie-review-harlem-cultural-festival\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cem>Summer of Soul\u003c/em>\u003c/a> during Brittany Howard’s set, which took place at Lands End during the golden hour. Even though Howard performed on the big stage, she managed to convey the relaxed atmosphere of a block party. She and her band took their time to settle into the groove of each track, weaving together elements of R&B, funk and blues as the audience two-stepped along. Howard belted in her low alto, let out high notes in a falsetto and shouted impassioned ad libs in the vein of James Brown as gospel-style backup singers supported her with an angelic chorus. She ended the set with the uplifting track “Give It To Love,” a manifesto about kindness and connection that I’m pretty sure inspired everyone in the audience to do at least one good deed as they continued their day. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13905596\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

That shit is over with.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The video, directed by Ace, shows Gunna witnessing a cop stalk a young Black child, much in the same way Trayvon Martin was reportedly followed by George Zimmerman before the young boy was killed. In this fictional depiction, Gunna gets to the stalker before the stalker gets to the child, killing the cop in cold blood.

Three years later, the San Francisco label is releasing Auton’s \u003cem>Without Hindrance\u003c/em>, an album inspired by the May 1968 uprising in France, made up of four original tracks and four remixes. Among those remixes, San Francisco producer (and label co-owner) Nihar turns “Beneath Paving Stones” into a mental journey that’s as thrilling as it is deep. Starting with a simple high-C note on repeat, new elements slowly introduce themselves, one by one, pulling your brain into its moving tapestry. Two minutes later, the track no longer resembles its origins; the frequencies are lurching and buzzing and slicing. By the time you’re through, don’t be surprised if you don’t resemble your origins either.\u003cem>—Gabe Meline\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/qNrM3QqTkdQ\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>DÆMON and Endgame, “Eye Teeth”\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://daemondaemon.bandcamp.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DÆMON\u003c/a> is a hip-hop artist from Oakland whose style is what some might refer to as experimental or alternative. No matter the label, his music is definitely unique. His latest track, “Eye Teeth,” a single from the \u003ca href=\"https://infinitemachine.bandcamp.com/album/im082-d-mon-endgame-dxe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>DXE\u003c/em> EP\u003c/a>, is a collaborative effort with Endgame of Precious Metals. The song’s uptempo drum pattern seem like it could’ve been used in a scene from \u003cem>Mortal Kombat\u003c/em>. It’s matched with aggressive synthesizers that sound like they’re directly from 1984, and makes for a sound the artists describe as “cybernetic warfare melodies.” [aside postid='arts_13891687']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lyrics are about DÆMON’s pursuit of an attractive woman who won’t be stopped or limited by any man or occupation. But the icing on the cake is the video. Shot inside of the Home Depot in Emeryville by director Brandon Tauszik, the video uses 360-degree technology to turn a casual walk through the hardware store into a full-blown experience. The song and video are on par with the experimental stylings of DÆMON, who is not new to obscure videos. For the song “\u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/7NgyIrNV8vk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">In-App Purchases\u003c/a>,” he filmed a video inside of a vacant mall. And for the track “\u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/OT0AzsIunGg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sirenxe\u003c/a>,” I can’t even explain what’s going on there. But it’s thrilling. Looking forward to more from DÆMON.\u003cem>—P.H.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/RkVyo5RRYU0\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Ian Kelly, “Gold Chain”\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The concept of building a legacy is heavy on \u003ca href=\"https://iankelly.fanlink.to/kellsisdead\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ian Kelly\u003c/a>’s mind on “Gold Chain,” a standout track on his latest album, \u003ci>Kells is D.E.A.D\u003c/i>. The name of the song might have you expecting three minutes of braggadocio, but Kelly hits his listeners with a pump fake, rhyming instead about treasuring family heirlooms (in the forms of both gold and knowledge), and sacrificing temporary flashiness for long-term gains. The track is sunny and airy, with an 808 bounce punctuated by an organ loop, and lines like “I got my ancestors’ respect” make you perk your ears up as you bob your head, lest you miss any of the generations-old wisdom Kelly shares. \u003ci>Kells is D.E.A.D.\u003c/i> is the Oakland artist’s latest release with \u003ca href=\"https://www.jamlarecords.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jamla\u003c/a>, 9th Wonder’s independent label that also reps Rapsody, and it’s well worth your time.\u003cem>—N.V.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/GZagrum0fbQ\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Lil Durk feat. Kehlani, “Love You Too”\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Oakland born-and-raised R&B star \u003ca href=\"https://www.kehlani.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kehlani\u003c/a> joins forces with Chicago’s Lil Durk for “Love You Too,” a somber three-minute track that dropped Wednesday night. With his signature drawling and crooning style, Lil Durk alternates between singing and rapping over a dark, brooding beat before Kehlani joins with her sharp pen and raspy vocals. “Never takin’ love for granted / Many die young before they have this,” they sing together, emphasizing their gratitude for a once-in-a-lifetime connection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The song reflects on the importance of valuing your partner, intermingled with Lil Durk’s declarations of both admiration and attraction. He vows to never let his feelings go unknown, repeating the line, “So come through, I’ma show you.” With two weeks left before Valentines Day, “Love You Too” is a beautiful sonic reminder to show the people you love how much you care.\u003cem>—Samuel Getachew\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Two minutes later, the track no longer resembles its origins; the frequencies are lurching and buzzing and slicing. By the time you’re through, don’t be surprised if you don’t resemble your origins either.\u003cem>—Gabe Meline\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/qNrM3QqTkdQ'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/qNrM3QqTkdQ'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003ch2>DÆMON and Endgame, “Eye Teeth”\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://daemondaemon.bandcamp.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DÆMON\u003c/a> is a hip-hop artist from Oakland whose style is what some might refer to as experimental or alternative. No matter the label, his music is definitely unique. His latest track, “Eye Teeth,” a single from the \u003ca href=\"https://infinitemachine.bandcamp.com/album/im082-d-mon-endgame-dxe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>DXE\u003c/em> EP\u003c/a>, is a collaborative effort with Endgame of Precious Metals. The song’s uptempo drum pattern seem like it could’ve been used in a scene from \u003cem>Mortal Kombat\u003c/em>. It’s matched with aggressive synthesizers that sound like they’re directly from 1984, and makes for a sound the artists describe as “cybernetic warfare melodies.” \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But the icing on the cake is the video. Shot inside of the Home Depot in Emeryville by director Brandon Tauszik, the video uses 360-degree technology to turn a casual walk through the hardware store into a full-blown experience. The song and video are on par with the experimental stylings of DÆMON, who is not new to obscure videos. For the song “\u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/7NgyIrNV8vk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">In-App Purchases\u003c/a>,” he filmed a video inside of a vacant mall.
