Art Basel is returning to Miami this weekend (December 6-8) with the largest number of new exhibitors in a decade. And while the art fair’s purpose is to show painters, sculptors, and artists’ works, in recent years, it’s also become a major draw for musical events and concerts. A diverse array of musical talents will also descend on the city, with a wide variety of genres and recording artists to hear and see. Here are just a few of the events worth checking out for music lovers at Art Basel Miami 2024.

Chance the Rapper — Writings On The Wall: A Star Line Listening Experience

Chance has been promoting his new album Star Line for some time, releasing both loose tracks from the project and his “Writing Exercise” freestyles as he hosts listening experiences like this. Since art is so intrinsically tied to the themes of the album, he’s hosting a literal gallery where fans can take in both the Windy City MC’s new album and the art that’s inspired him during its recording. The exhibition runs at Wynwood Studios runs from December 3 through 6. You can get tickets and more info here.

Fatboy Slim Live At Hyde Beach

I see you, baby. You can see the Big Beat DJ live at the SLS South Beach on December 6 from day-to-night. He’s taking over the hotel’s poolside venue, Hyde Beach, spinning his classics for fans looking to hang by the water without getting sand everywhere. You can find tickets and more info here.

Helado Negro — Live At ZeyZey

Genre-defying musician Helado Negro is South Florida born and raised, so you could consider his performance at ZeyZey a hometown show of sorts. The performance is in support of his new album Phasor, which came out earlier this year via 4AD. The album’s synthesizer-heavy avant-pop was critically hailed on its release, and if you missed his tour this spring, the show on Wednesday, December 4 will be a second chance to experience it live. You can find more info here.

Kaytranada & Shaboozey — DAR MIAMI 1446 at Maydān

The Moroccan restaurant hosts an immersive dining and art experience for Capitol One cardholders, with curated dinners hosted by artist Hassan Hajjaj and afterparty entertainment provided by Kaytranada and Shaboozey. Anderson .Paak (as DJ Pee-Wee) will also play a set. You can find more info here.

Lil Wayne — Live At E11EVEN

The multilevel downtown nightclub will be hosting performances all week in honor of Art Basel, with a DJ set by Anderson .Paak (as DJ Pee-Wee) on Wednesday the 4th, a headlining performance by 50 Cent on Thursday the 5th, a DJ set by Steve Aoki on Friday the 6th, and Lil Wayne bringing it all home on Saturday the 7th. The club is also hosting a golf tournament at nearby Normany Shores Golf Club and a racy fashion show courtesy of The Black Tape Project. You can mind more info here.

Action Bronson Talks To Apple Music About His “Beef” With David Schwimmer And Getting Covid From Mel Gibson

July 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Action Bronson sits down with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1 to talk about his new album Johann Sebastian Bachlava The Doctor. In the wide-ranging interview, Action Bronson talks about recently getting arrested in France, how he got Covid from Mel Gibson, his “beef” with David Schwimmer, and his favorite Olympics moment.

He also shares lessons learned from fatherhood, his painting and where his artistic inspiration comes from, and what made him start to prioritize his health.

Action Bronson Tells Apple Music About Recently Getting Arrested In France…

Action Bronson: I went on vacation for 10 days. In Paris, I got locked up with my fucking driver. I was going to get pastries. My family were leaving. And I take him, we go nine in the morning to my man Bertrand’s spot Tapestry. He had a box waiting for me. Fucking, we get caught at the light. There’s two cops over there. They’re talking to the driver. The driver’s wearing a suit and he has some sort of pin, and they questioned him about the pin. And apparently the pin is like, you work for the president. And they’re not having it because the Olympics are coming. So they pull them out, they question him. They arrested him for impersonating a police officer. They bring me in. They refuse to speak English, but they still leave me with the phone. I’m just like, “Yo, bro, I’m just trying to get to my family.”

Zane Lowe: I got my pastries.

Action Bronson: I didn’t get the pastries yet. So three hours. My man has to make the phone call. Somehow I text him, he calls them. He’s like, “Yo,” he calls the precinct. “He has the key to the city in Lyon, the mayor. This is going to cause a scandal, blah, blah, blah.” Somehow they fucking let me out. Three hours later I got the pastries, but my family had already left, so I was very angry. But there was no consolation except the pastry. I was just fucking pissed. I’m just saying, that’s how I started the tour.

Action Bronson Talks To Apple Music About What Changed To Make Him Start Prioritizing His Health…

It was actually shame. It was a shame that I had let myself get there, because I’ve always been an athlete. I was like, “What the fuck is going on? What is this?” Wearing fucking mumu shirts. I still like a good comfortable shirt, but my Lord, I was like, “What is this?” And having a brand new baby, you want to be around. I want to be around forever.

Action Bronson Tells Apple Music The Story About How Mel Gibson Gave Him Covid…

Zane Lowe: Mel Gibson did give you COVID.

Action Bronson: That’s a fact. I mean, I don’t like to tell this story, but I will. That bastard gave it to me for sure. It was at UFC, McConor Gregory. I mean, pah, McConor Gregory… Conor McGregor and fucking Dustin Poirier part three. This was the COVID days. He turned around, we were the only ones there at the prelims. There was no one there. It was just me and him. He turned, I was sat here. He sat in front. He turned around and kept saying shit to me in my face, like commenting on the punch and commenting on the kick. And then everyone got it. Me and four other guys got it.

Action Bronson Continues His Wonderfully Absurd & Whimsical Ways On “JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACHLAVA THE DOCTOR”

July 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Action Bronson never shies from being himself. It is one of the many redeeming qualities of the unapologetically blunt rapper who hails from Queens, New York. Overall, it is probably what he is most synonymous with, and we are happy that he stays true. To be honest, hip-hop can use more light-hearted and unique lyricists like him. The 2013 XXL Freshman is bringing out his usual self on another tight project for 2024 and it comes after a handful of singles. Action Bronson’s JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACHLAVA THE DOCTOR is led by “NOURISH A THUG” and “SEGA”, both of which were released just two months before it.

Bronson is working alongside familiar faces for this project, both on the production and feature front. The former sees him recruit Daringer and The Alchemist once again, and the MC also chips into the creation of the beats. As for the accompanying performers, mainstays Julian Love and Yung Mehico (instrumentalists) are here, as well as Meyhem Lauren and Larry June. As we stated, Bronson is still wonderfully wild and colorful bars. For example, take a look at these from the jazzy and grand “HIDEO NOMO”. “Finish quick, she spit my seeds on the floor, a tree grew (Uh) / Then she continued seasoning the sea food / I got more karate movеs than Steven Seagal (That’s a lot)“.

Like Bronson’s past release, Cocodrillo Turbo, JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACHLAVA THE DOCTOR, sees as him the titular doctor. He presents himself as this on several tracks, with one being “SEGA”. It is unclear what this all means for the album, but what we can tell you is that there are some great tracks to be had. That is thanks in part to the funky and catchy instrumentals (“SALVAJE” “KOMPRESSOR”). Give Bronson’s new outing a try with the links below.

Action Bronson Keeps It Mellow On Organ-Heavy Single “Sega”

June 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Action Bronson knows how to have fun. Every new single and album comes with the rapper’s trademark sense of humor. A sense of humor typified by obscure movie references, old school sports references, and a bunch of culinary references that will go over fans’ heads. A Bronson verse is an adventure, and “Sega” is a prime example. The single off the rapper’s upcoming album, Johan Sebastian Bachlava the Doctor, is brief, moody, and eminently listenable.

The most notable aspect of “Sega” is the instrumental. One might assume from the title that Bronson would spit over a glitchy, video-game inspired beat, but “Sega” opts for a moody vibe complete with an old school organ. The organ is the most prominent sound here, and it makes the whole track sound like Action Bronson is rapping in a haunted house from Scooby Doo. The bars are equally outlandish. There are references to wrestler Kurt Engle, silver bullets and Miles Davis playing the trumpet. It’s random fun, with the rapper’s undeniable charisma giving each verse their shape. “Sega” lacks the punchiness of the album’s first single, “Nourish a Thug,” but it’s another satisfying taste of what’s to come.

Let us know what you think of this brand-new track, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.

Action Bronson Stays In His Lyrically Abstract Bag

Quotable Lyrics:

Under the cranberry club
We flee under the tunnel
B*tch I swing that big lumber
Yeah I’m out here doing numbers, b*tch
I been here for 14 summers
