We are living in unprecedented times right now. The world has effectively been shut down for an undetermined amount of time because of the coronavirus outbreak. In order to protect the millions of people at risk, governments worldwide have instated shelter-at-home measures, urging people to stay inside and practice social distancing. Every industry has been affected by the outbreak, including the music business. However, leaders like TIDAL are trying their hardest to make these next few days/weeks/months comfortable by digging through the archives and providing ample live-stream concert material for us to enjoy.
Announcing the At Home With TIDAL live-stream series, TIDAL revealed that daily live-streams will be available for music fans to connect with their favorite artists while still social distancing. Beginning today, the streaming service will shuffle through genres to cater to a wide array of music fans. The 12-hour daily live-streams will feature exclusive content from past performances by some of the industry's finest.
Today is Latin day, featuring Jennifer Lopez, Daddy Yankee, and more. Tomorrow will focus on pop, with performances from Lizzo, Rosalia, The Chainsmokers, and others. Friday will be electronic before the real fun starts on the weekend.
Saturday will bring us a flurry of past performances by some of hip-hop's greatest current stars, including Jay-Z, J. Cole, Lil Wayne, Meek Mill, Gunna, 21 Savage, and City Girls. Then, things continue on Sunday with an R&B showcase of Beyoncé, Rihanna, Ari Lennox, Trey Songz, Jorja Smith, and H.E.R.
Since we can't enjoy any music festivals in the foreseeable future, have some fun this weekend (and right now!) with TIDAL.
DJ Khaled Announces "Bad Boys For Life" Soundtrack With Meek Mill, Quavo, & More
DJ Khaled is releasing the soundtrack to Will Smith and Martin Lawrence’s film on his We The Best label.
Whenever Florida superstar DJ Khaled attaches his name to a musical project, you know the liner notes will be filled with the names of tons of his star connections. If you follow the mega-producer on social media, you know very well that he holds one of the most impressive networks out of the entire business. On any given day, we can observe him going on jet ski adventures with Diddy, Meek Mill, Bryson Tiller, Jay-Z, and many others. The man is socially wealthy, relying on his network to continue impressing the masses with projects that are filled to the brim with talent. This morning, Khaled officially announced that the upcoming soundtrack to Will Smith and Martin Lawrence’s film Bad Boys For Life would be released under his We The Best imprint. In doing so, he revealed the featured guests for the first time and they’re pretty crazy.
Already, we knew that J Balvin and the Black Eyed Peas would be included on the list but the rest of the artists being advertised have us salivating and waiting (im)patiently for the final product. Sharing a teaser clip on social media, DJ Khaled revealed a few extra additions to the BBFL OST, naming the following as soundtrack stars: Meek Mill, Rick Ross, City Girls, Jaden Smith, Quavo, Lil Jon, Rich The Kid, Bryson Tiller, Daddy Yankee, and more.
It appears as though the movie will feature a healthy mix of hip-hop vibes and Latin flare. The body of work will be available on January 17. Are you looking forward to it?
