Five years after Alfredo—an album that became an instant classic and redefined what a rapper-producer duo could sound like— Freddie Gibbs and The Alchemist release their second collaborative album Alfredo 2 via Rabbit Vision/ALC Records/Virgin Music. The duo’s Alfredo 2 merch capsule including shirts, hoodies, hats, a comic book and poster, and five vinyl variants is available at alfredostokyo.com (here). The long-awaited follow-up to Alfredo arrives after speculation began when cryptic signage went up earlier this month, stoking a frenzy for new music from Freddie and The Alchemist. The duo hosted a full album listening in support of their Babylon collaboration at hvw8 Gallery in LA last week, and a select number of lucky fans were invited to see a special advance screening of Alfredo: The Movie at Los Angeles’ Brain Dead Studios cinema. Directed by Nick Walker and shot on location in Japan, Alfredo: The Movie offers a cryptic glimpse into the Alfredo 2 world. Equal parts yakuza noir and Ghost Dog, the film casts Gibbs and The Alchemist as partners navigating a seedy, hyper-stylized version of the city’s criminal underground. They’ve traded pasta for noodles, operating out of a humble ramen shop while studying ancient methods of preparation, boiling bones by day and laundering money by night. Alleyway negotiations, back room deals in smoky izakayas, and warrior monk training montages––it’s a bold reintroduction to the duo’s creative universe steeped in noir aesthetics, shadowy criminal underworlds, and razor-sharp bars. Freddie Gibbs has never fit neatly into a box. Over the last decade, he’s evolved from underground tactician to cultural heavyweight—someone equally at home bodying a Madlib beat as he is acting alongside indie film darlings. But Gibbs’ evolution goes far beyond music. His breakout performance in the indie film Down With The King stunned critics, earning him praise from the New York Times, where A.O. Scott named his performance one of the best of the year and argued that Gibbs should have been nominated for Best Actor at the Oscars. He’s since expanded his presence on screen with roles that tap into the same emotional weight and streetwise intelligence that define his lyricism. Gibbs is building a career that sits at the intersection of authenticity and artistry—one foot in the culture, one in something bigger. With recent appearances in prestige television and film, and a reputation as one of rap’s most compelling live performers, Gibbs is carving out a path that blends street wisdom with high art. The Alchemist, meanwhile, remains one of the most influential and consistent producers in the game. In the years since Alfredo, he’s been unstoppable—crafting full-length records with Earl Sweatshirt, Boldy James, Larry June, MIKE, and most recently Erykah Badu while continuing to mentor and co-sign a new generation of underground talent. His fingerprints are all over the last decade of progressive rap music, and his sound—dusty, luxurious, unpredictable—remains unmatched. Alfredo 2 marks another chapter in a career defined by reinvention and quiet domination<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/135827/t/tickets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">View Tickets &amp; More Info</a>

"The fans and musicians that really resonate with me—and the inexplicable ways that I find things that I like—are usually entirely through randomness and chaos and accident," Rose-Garcia says. "I've always been on this quest to make people feel like my own music is a choose your own adventure." In 2024 Rose-Garcia celebrated the ten year anniversary of his And The War Came album with a special 10 Year Anniversary Edition release featuring never before heard demos and b-sides from the recording process and inviting fans to enter the long-since abandoned Music House. His story continues to unfold, but Shakey Graves Is Still A Gentleman From Texas.

About the Artist: He has been called one of the most original stand-up comics in the country, and his performances leave audiences laughing in tears. Michael Blackson, aka, ‘The African King of Comedy', has been entertaining audiences all across the country and around the globe for more than a decade. Inspired by the stand up comedy of Eddie Murphy, Blackson began to develop his comedic talent in 1992 in the unkind comedy clubs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Blackson’s comedic appeal grew from his involvement with BET’s ComicView series, HBO’s Def Comedy Jam, Showtime at Harlem, and Live in Hollywood. However, it was in a Los Angeles comedy club where Blackson got his big break. Blackson was performing at the Comedy Store where actor/director Ice Cube was in attendance to see comedian Mike Epps perform. But after experiencing Blackson’s performance, Ice Cube invited the young comic for a reading…and the rest is smash hit history! Blackson’s outstanding and unforgettable performance in the smash hit comedy, Next Friday, drew praise and a fan following like no other. After his scene stealing performance in Next Friday, fans wanted more, and in 2005, Blackson would not disappoint. He released his top-selling sketch comedy CD entitled, Modasucka, Welcome to America. With Blackson, the work never stops. Along with special guest appearances on some of the hottest music videos, Blackson stole the stage on P. Diddy’s Bad Boys of Comedy on HBO and starred in a commercial for the Chappelle Show on Comedy Central. There’s no mistaking Blackson for any other comedian when he takes the stage. And what about those Dashikis? When he takes the stage, clad in the finest Dashikis the Motherland has to offer, “The African King of Comedy? is born! Along with his film and television endeavors, Blackson continues to entertain his fans as the headliner for live shows at comedy clubs, universities and special events, bringing his one-of-a kind, must-see stand-up performance to audiences all across the country and around the world.

The Truman 601 East Truman Road Kansas City, MO 64106

The critically adored Mexican-American singer-songwriter Lupita Infante is part of a new generation of musica mexicana artists, so deeply rooted in tradition that they possess the confidence and expertise to brilliantly reinvent it in the modern day. Her name is instantly recognizable to tens of millions of Mexicans as she is the granddaughter of Pedro Infante Cruz (1917–1957), one of the most beloved Mexican singers and actors of the 20th century. Carrying her family’s legendary legacy forward, Lupita has earned numerous awards and accolades, including 2 GRAMMY® and 2 Latin GRAMMY® nominations, most recently being nominated for “Best Regional Song” at the 26th Annual Latin GRAMMY® Awards, standing out as the only female artist in the category. In addition, she has received the Mayor’s Excellence Award from her hometown of Downey, California, and was honored with the Latino Spirit Award from the California Latino Legislative Caucus. In May of 2025, Lupita released her third official studio album, “La Corona es Mia.” Across 10 powerful tracks, Lupita cements her place as a leading force in Música Mexicana, claiming the crown that's rightfully hers. Additionally, in 2025, Lupita will be touring across the US and Mexico, opening for Música Mexicana legends such as Pepe Aguilar, Los Angeles Azules, and Mariachi Vargas, among others. Lupita’s presence on this tour is a powerful testament to her growing impact in the genre. Sharing the stage with icons like Pepe Aguilar, who is also part of a family dynasty, showcases a true generational blend of Musica Mexicana legacies. These shows bring recognition for an artist who is gracefully bridging the past and future of the genre. Lupita studied Ethnomusicology at UCLA and joined the school's renowned Mariachi de Uclatlán, which is the oldest university mariachi in the United States with an over 50-year trajectory. Studying ethnomusicology gave Lupita the chance to rediscover Pedro Infante’s legacy through the works of academics: “I would write about Mexican music and research women in mariachi music, and study machismo in Mexican music and how that translated through my grandfather. I think that was a lot more interesting than if I had majored in vocal performance.” To pay her tuition, she worked as a Lyft driver. She graduated from UCLA in 2017. “I was driving for Lyft to be able to pay my bills. I knew I wasn’t the kind of person who was going to be stuck in an office, even though it meant sacrificing that security.” Despite Lupita coming from an iconic lineage, she has overcome boundaries to achieve commercial and critical success within her career. As a 2x GRAMMY@ nominee, Lupita Infante is solidifying her place as a leading female face in Musica Mexicana, while simultaneously becoming one of the most critically adored Musica Mexicana artists of the new generation. -- La aclamada cantante y compositora méxico-americana Lupita Infante forma parte de una nueva generación de artistas de música mexicana, tan profundamente arraigados en la tradición que poseen la confianza y el conocimiento para reinventarse en la actualidad. Su nombre resulta familiar para millones de mexicanos, ya que es nieta del legendario Pedro Infante Cruz (1917–1957), uno de los cantantes y actores mexicanos más queridos del siglo XX. Lupita Infante ha recibido numerosos premios y reconocimientos, incluyendo dos nominaciones al GRAMMY® y dos al Latin GRAMMY®, más recientemente nominada a “Mejor Canción Regional” en la 26.ª edición anual de los Latin GRAMMY®, destacándose como la única artista femenina en la categoría.

The history of freedom and equal rights after emancipation is long and complex — and still being written today.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/145416/t/tickets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">View Tickets &amp; More Info</a>
