BAKA NOT NICE DEBUTS VIDEO FOR "MONEY IN THE BANK"

Today, Baka Not Nice premieres the video for his new single "Money In The Bank."

 Baka's career began as part of Drake's security team. He went on to contribute background vocals while working on his own solo music.  He can be heard at the end of From Time from Drake's 2013 album Nothing Was The Same. He also provided the outro to Drake's Free Smoke and backing vocals on Gyalchester, both from his 2017 album More Life.  On June 27, 2017, he became the latest signing for Drake's OVO Sound record label and signed the contract in front of a crowd. Three days later, he released his first single Live Up To My Name.

unnamed-13.jpg

Speaking to overwhelming fan demand and pandemonium coast to coast, Lil Pump launched his North American headline tour with a sold out show at The Novo in Los Angeles, CA. It was the ultimate way to spend Halloween and perfect kick-off to the jaunt, which hits major cities everywhere over the course of the next month. 

See the full itinerary below and get tickets HERE as shows are selling out fast!

Lil Pump has quickly become the most explosive new artist of 2017. The South Florida superstar's impact can be felt far and wide. Following the release of his self-titled debut, Lil Pump, he skyrocketed to #1 on the Billboard Emerging Artists Chart, while the album bowed at #3 on the Billboard Top 200 and stood out as the #1 streaming album first-week. So far, he has generated a staggering 600 million-plus streams and counting and over 260 million YouTube views. 

A cultural force, Forbes recently profiled him in an extensive piece appropriately entitled, "Once A Soundcloud Sensation, Lil Pump Proves To Be A Hot 100 Contender." Among its 15 bright, bold, and buoyant bangers, Lil Pump notably boasts five tracks that cracked 20 million on Spotify-"Gucci Gang" (70 million), "Flex Like Ouu" (52.4 million), "Boss" (39 million), "D Rose" (34.8 million), and "Molly" (23 million).

As Lil Pump continues his ascent at lightspeed, "Gucci Gang" leapt to #14 on the  Billboard Hot 100, making a 13-spot hop from last week and tying Camila Cabello's "Havana" for "Biggest Chart Jump Inside of the Top 50." "Gucci Gang" also holds #2 on the US Spotify Chart and #12 on the Global Chart. Just last week, he premiered the raging music video for the rising smash. In under seven days, it already amassed over 40 million YouTube views and counting. In the larger-than-life climactic clip, Pump lords over "Gucci Gang High" with a tiger at his side. High SnobietyXXLComplex,  The Boombox, and more have already featured the video. 

Lil Pump remains the undisputed biggest breakout of 2017!

Esskeetit!

Recently, New Found Glory premiered the music video for the island jam "The Sound of Two Voices" exclusively with Billboard. On the track, Billboard shared that the "most un-New Found Glory-sounding song (from Makes Me Sick) was also its best...'The Sound of Two Voices' takes some steel drums and a ska-punk backbone, and rolls a fat one for anyone who thinks they've seen the last of New Found Glory's fresh ideas." Fans can check out the video, along with an exclusive interview from Guitarist Chad Gilbert on Billboard.com.  

New Found Glory is also excited to be hitting the road again this Fall for the last US leg of their 20 Years of Pop-Punk Tour.

The Major Minor Announces October Tour
unnamed-12.jpg

The Major Minor was established in Detroit during 2015 as an emotional pop punk band. The members - Daniel Amaro, Ian Redmen, Austin Dryer, and Roberto Garcia - are influenced from early 2000's pop punk to post hardcore that includes Silverstein, Senses Fail, and Jimmy Eat World. The band released their debut EP in October 2015 entitled The Wasted Nights. They quickly came back six months later with the matured Maps EP. During the following winter the band caught the attention of Imminence Records and announced their signing to the label on April 6th, 2017. The band saw their label debut, entitled Different Light, released on May 12th.

Imminence Records' Detroit pop-punk outfit The Major Minor is pleased to announce their second tour in as many months. This second tour, which is happening in October, follows the still happening In Pop Punk We Trust Tour that will go through the rest of this month. Both tours are promoting the band's six track label debut, entitled Different Light. The EP is full of emo dipped pop-punk that harkens back to the middle 2000s.

"This is one for the books! Playing some venues we've only seen on the internet with amazing line ups. Best thing about tour is waking up in a different city and networking with new musicians about their scene. Come talk to us next month!” - Dan Amaro (Vocalist)
