Cardi B’s “Bodak Yellow” hits number 1 on billboard charts! Sza recently came out with her new album CTRL and is currently on tour. She just had a concert in LA and brought out special guest Kendrick Lamar to sing “Doves in the Wind”. She started the night, opening with “Supermodel” and of course right after, her popular single “Love Galore”.There were a few difficulties though, so she had to sing it acoustically but the crowd loved it.Her next show is at House of Blues on the 28th in New Orleans! Chance The Rapper debuts new music on The Late Show that is so new that it doesn’t even have a name yet. Daniel Caesar backed him up with vocals and guitar and it was a beautiful masterpiece that you should really check out!
