As expected, they saved the best for (almost) last. Ahead of Frank Ocean’s headlining set later this evening (April 16), Kali Uchis gave one of her best performances to date on the Coachella mainstage with thousands of patrons watching on. While fans surely would’ve been satisfied with just the bilingual songstress and her ethereal vocals, she didn’t disappoint with her roster of surprise appearances, which included “See You Again” collaborator Tyler, the Creator.
After satisfying hip-hop heads with the deluxe cut of his CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST album last month, the Californian brought plenty of energy to his performance. Their 2017 joint effort is the most-streamed title from Tyler’s Flower Boy project, and they’ve since worked together on “After The Storm” with Bootsy Collins. The Coachella crowd was obviously pleased with that, but little did they know, more was in store from Uchis.
Omar Apollo was on deck to sing “Worth the Wait” with his friend shortly after the Creator left. The song appears on Uchis’ Red Moon in Venus album, which arrived in the first few days of March. Elsewhere on the 15-track effort she linked up with her boyfriend, Don Toliver, on “Fantasy.” The couple showed off their strong chemistry during the 28-year-old’s Coachella set, crooning the lyrics to their second joint release of 2023 so far. Other tracks the Virginia-born vocalist sang this weekend include “Moonlight,” “Papi Chulo,” and “Tattoo.”
Our first weekend in the desert has nearly come to a close, but it hasn’t been without its share of surprises. Kendall Jenner was spotted dancing in the crowd during Bad Bunny’s headlining concert, and Metro Boomin impressed attendees with a healthy list of guests. Among them was The Weeknd, who previewed new music – potentially from his upcoming HBO series, The Idol – while supporting his producer pal. Keep scrolling for more photos and videos from Kali Uchis’ first weekend at Coachella. Afterward, tell us which of today’s sets was your favourite in the comments below.

As the youth say, Metro Boomin is outside. Not only is hit producer outside, he’s bringing his superstar friends Future and Don Toliver with him. The hip hop heavyweights linked up for the woozy yet epic music video for their collaborative song “Too Many Nights” off Metro Boomin’s latest album Heroes & Villains.
Co-directed by Boomin, Hidji World and Zac Facts the musicians show that if they’re going to work hard then they have to party equally as hard. In the late night into the wee hours of the morning shenanigans, the trio hop from a neon dancefloor, strip club, to the studio and more. Don Toliver keeps each location live showing off killer dance moves.
When asked by collaborating with the rapper, Boomin told GQ, “I told [Don Toliver], ‘Like 2001, you’ve got the Nate Dogg role.” The late singer Nate Dogg was famously know for delivering the perfect balance as a guest feature.
Later Boomin was sure to add, “You can still make great songs with them, but as a producer, it’s like, what are you bringing? You’ve got to break artists, you’ve got to bring new artists. That’s a big part of your duty.”
Fellow fashionable rapper A$AP Rocky makes a guest appearance in the visual. Another made an appearance in thoughts, Young Thug, as he is currented incarcerated. As the video closes, the group hold up t-shirt featuring the rapper’s picture with the word “FREE.”
Watch the full video for Metro Boomin’s song “Too Many Nights,” featuring Future and Don Toliver above.
Some artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
It’s already been over four months since Metro Boomin’s HEROES & VILLAINS project landed, but still, the producer continues to share new visuals for the project’s 15 tracks. Others to already arrive include “Superhero” with Future, as well as “Creepin’ (Remix)” with The Weeknd, Diddy, and 21 Savage. His most recent effort finds the Atlanta native linking up with Hendrix once again, and also tapping Don Toliver to put together a lit music video for their “Too Many Nights” collaboration.
In the nearly three-and-a-half-minute-long clip, we see all three creatives in full party mode, bringing their energy to the dancefloor while singing and rapping for the camera. “I got it cool, for a ten / The bitch get loose, she tryna win,” the Cactus Jack artist croons early on in the song. “I beat up by the house, or beat her in / There’s forty in the couch, or let her spend.” For Future’s part, he closes “Too Many Nights” out with bars like “Bottega Veneta whenever you ride with me / It ain’t like I’m asking you to ride for free,” and “Too many nights, ’boutta crash (Skrrt) / Now I’m buyin’ the foreigns all cash.”
The new video is receiving plenty of praise online so far and has reached upwards of 136K streams on YouTube at the time of publication. The positive response is likely a major confidence boost for Metro, who’s gearing up to perform at Coachella over the next two weekends. According to HipHop-N-More, we’ll see some special guests joining the 29-year-old. Among them will likely be his HEROES & VILLAINS collaborators, such as Travis Scott, A$AP Rocky, and Young Nudy, among others.
The festival’s first weekend is due to launch this coming Friday (April 14), with Bad Bunny, BLACKPINK, and Frank Ocean headling. Other noteworthy acts taking the stage this year include Burna Boy, Kaytranada, Pusha T, Rosalía, $uicideboy$, Kali Uchis, Dominic Fike, and Rae Sremmurd. In fact, the latter duo just shared their fourth studio album ahead of their upcoming performance, which you can check out here. Are you heading to Coachella to catch Metro Boomin?

Young Thug may not have freedom right now, but he has friends on the outside supporting him. The rapper was arrested last May. He was been accused of trying to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act. He was also accused of participating in criminal street gang activity. Additionally, Young Thug faced additional charges including possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute, and possession of prohibited weapons, among others. These charges were part of a larger 56-count grand jury indictment which names 28 people involved with the YSL “criminal street gang,” including fellow rapper Gunna. As many know, Gunna has been freed, but Young Thug’s case is still awaiting trial.
Young Thug is a rapper, singer, and songwriter hailing from Atlanta. He first gained recognition in 2013 with his mixtape 1017 Thug and has since released numerous projects, including his debut studio album So Much Fun in 2019. Young Thug’s music is popular in large part due to his singular style, which features both singing and rapping in a high-pitched, melodic flow. He has collaborated with a range of artists across various genres, including Future, Travis Scott, and Camila Cabello.
In an Instagram post on Metro Boomin’s account, several of Young Thug’s friends posed with a “Free Young Thug” shirt. Don Toliver, Metro Boomin, and A$AP Rocky are all included in the picture. The caption reads, “Free Jeff till Jeff free!!” Jeff is Young Thug’s government name. Whether or not “Jeff” will be free remains to be seen. It isn’t all bad, though.
Although the rapper originally could have faced up to 65 counts, he was only charged with 8. The charges include conspiracy to violate the RICO act, participation in criminal street gang activity, and possession of both marijuana and codeine with intent to distribute. Those certainly aren’t light charges. Young Thug was briefly allowed freedom recently to attend his sister’s funeral. Even if the rapper does win in court, the result is likely still somewhat far off. Jury selection is still underway and has been hit with several roadblocks. Most recently, a potential juror was jailed for filming the court room. Here’s hoping Young Thug can come out on top once the trial begins.

Don Toliver is hitting the road in support of his newest album, Love Sick. The “No Idea” rapper announced his new tour on Twitter. His album was announced on Valentine’s Day of this year. The next day, he released a new single titled “4 Me”. The song featured Toliver’s girlfriend of three years, Kali Uchis. Wasting no time at all, the rapper released another song two days later. The single, titled “Leave the Club” featured Lil Dirk and GloRilla. Also featured on the Love Sick track list were artists like Justin Bieber, Future, and James Blake.
Don Toliver is a 28-year-old rapper, singer, and songwriter who gained popularity with his breakout single “No Idea” in 2019. Born in Houston, Toliver was raised by his father, who was a rapper in the early 2000s. Toliver started his music career by performing at local venues in Texas and releasing mixtapes. In 2018, he caught the attention of Travis Scott, who signed him to his label, Cactus Jack Records. Through the label, he released his mixtape Donny Womack. Toliver has since released two studio albums, Heaven or Hell and Life of a Don, which have received critical acclaim and commercial success. He has collaborated with several notable artists, including Eminem, The Weeknd, and SZA. This February, Toliver released his third studio album, Love Sick.
