After a nearly two-decade hibernation, Andre 3000 stepped into the ‘New Blue Sun’ by unveiling his first solo album on Friday (November 17).
Barely getting to enjoy the critical acclaim being showered on the instrumental effort, the Hip-Hop legend’s learned his name is already atop the wishlist of some of today’s most prominent performers.
Leading the pack is fellow Atlanta hitmaker Latto.
Thanks to her latest single, ‘Call My Name,’ GRAMMY-nominated songstress Jordin Sparks sees her name printed on a Billboard R&B chart for the first time in nearly 10 years.
Beyonce‘s ‘Renaissance World Tour’ may already be the highest-grossing tour by a female artist ever, but the seismic show isn’t resting on its game-changing status.
Quite the contrary.
Because Queen Bey pulled out all the stops at the latest stop of the mega-trek in Los Angeles.
Taking residence at the SoFi Stadium for the first of a three-night run, the superstar slayed with seasoned precision in front of a capacity crowd that included a colossal list of celebrities – including Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, Issa Rae, Sofia Vergara, Keke Palmer, Kelly Rowland, Tyler Perry, and Tracee Ellis-Ross.
As reported, DJ Khaled served as the opener and brought out several guests including Lil Wayne, Offset, 2 Chainz, and Coi Leray.
One of the central moments during an evening of high points was the return of the viral version smash hit ‘Drunk In Love.’ Popularized during the diva’s epic performance in Dubai at the start of the year, it’s seldom been performed on the tour. Thus, rendering its reintroduction all the more magical.

On the LP, Cudi is joined by Ty Dolla $ign, 2 Chainz, and Don Toliver.
Speaking on the album, the 38-year-old said:
“Entergalactic is everything I’ve always wanted to do, create a long-form visual companion to an album. It all started with the music which helped bring this storyline and these characters to life. Entergalactic is unlike anything I’ve ever done, certainly my most ambitious project to date; I can’t wait for you to finally experience it.”
