Amazon Music has its sights set on locking down the concert streaming market and with incredible partnerships with Dreamville, Guap (formerly known as Guapdad 4000), Kanye West and Drake, and 88rising’s Head In The Clouds festival to its name, it’s off to a great start. Next up, Amazon and Long Beach rapper Vince Staples are inviting fans on a “Walk Through Ramona Park” to commemorate Vince’s latest album, Ramona Park Broke My Heart with a live stream of his upcoming show at The Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles tomorrow (August 23).

The 90-minute stream will encompass 30 songs from across Vince’s catalog including some of his earliest songs. The show will be available to stream beginning at 8 pm PT via the Amazon Music channel on Twitch, the Amazon Music mobile app, and Prime Video.

Meanwhile, Vince’s star continues to rise, as Deadline and Variety recently reported on a pair of upcoming acting roles. In addition to joining Jack Harlow in the remake of White Men Can’t Jump (if he doesn’t mention going to Sizzler, I will riot), he was also cast in a Showtime pilot based on The Wood. He also recently released his Z2 comic book Limbo Beach after being forced to postpone his Limbo Beach Carnival due to overwhelming demand.

Latto will play an intimate hometown show at The Tabernacle on Saturday, April 23 to commemorate the end of her sold-out 777 tour. Rotation—Amazon Music’s hip-hop/R&B brand—will stream her show for fans on the Amazon Music channel on Twitch and in the Amazon Music app to commemorate the chart-topping rapper’s historic return.

The stream will begin at 8 p.m. EDT and will be a celebration of Latto’s new album 777, which is out now on RCA Records. Saucy Santana, Kali, Asianae, and J Young MDK, Latto’s openers, will also be streaming sets on Rotation.

“The 777 tour has been an incredible experience, and for my last night on tour, I wanted as many of my fans to be able to experience it. By livestreaming my show with Rotation and Amazon Music, I’ll be able to celebrate the end of my tour with all my fans around the world,” said Latto.

Latto made history earlier this week when her blockbuster hit track “Big Energy” scored #1 on Top 40 Radio, making her the first female rapper to ever have a #1 record at Pop, Rhythm, and Urban Radio with the same single.
