Move Forward Music presented his debut show at Rough Trade and we will never forget when he crowd surfed his way through the audience to perform “Thug Tears” on top the bar. His on-stage energy is unparalleled and his interaction with the fans unmatched.

Show is SOLD OUT but Follow @mfmusic on IG for info on Red Bull Music Festival ticket giveaways.
Tierra Whack set Instagram and the record industry ablaze when she released 15 videos for the 15 one-minute songs on her debut album, Whack World.
Grounded in hip-hop but unbound by any genre, Whack placed witty, breakneck verses and bright, candy-coated instrumentals alongside grim trap beats, laconic mumble rap, and pop-leaning R&B. It remains a zany and profound tour de force for small screens and attention spans, the first album for the social media generation.
We were blessed to present Tierra’s first NYC show at Baby’s All Right, where she drew the sold out crowd in with bars, facial expressions, vocal sound effects and an infectious energy that drew comparisons to this generations Missy Elliott.
SATURDAY MAY 18TH
DJ KAMPIRE w/ Bearcat
Black Flamingo – 168 Borinquen Place, Brooklyn, NY
11:00pm | 21+
Tickets avaiable at the door day-of-show
Ranked one of Mixmag’s ten breakthrough DJs of 2018, Kampire is also one of the biggest names in the underground electronic music scene in Kampala, the capital city of Uganda. Along with record label and collective Nyege Nyege Tapes, she has laid the bedrock for creating safe party spaces for women and the LGBTQ+ community. Virtually nonexistent in the Kampala club scene until Kampire and Nyege Nyege Tapes, these events spotlight the most forward-thinking pan-African sounds tailored for the dancefloor, including but not limited to gqom and afrobeat. Kampire’s propulsive, bass-heavy sets are always one of the highlights at Nyege Nyege shows.
