More from Coachella....A$AP Rocky
Coachella really has it all this year, well for me anyway. Dre & Snoop, Frank Ocean, Araab Muzik, Azealia Banks, The Weeknd, Kendrick Lamar, Thundercat, Flying Lotus...the list really is endless. But for me, one of the most highly anticipated sets would be the A$AP performance. Easily one of the most exciting artists at the moment, with his debut album set in July, an A$AP Mob tape set before then and collaborative projects all over the place (Araab Muzik, Pharrell, Lana Del Rey and Theophilus London) Expect to hear some snippets off of his album, and some bits from those projects throughout his performance with some of the A$AP Mob;

Childish Gambino X Kendrick Lamar X Danny Brown
Childish Gambino decided to bring out both Kendrick Lamar and Danny Brown to help remix his track 'You Know Me' from his third album; Cul De Sac. This type of beat needed some sort of remix with artists like Kenny Lamar and Danny Brown going over it. Check out the live performance now;

Frank Ocean X Coachella
Some footage of Frank Ocean's performance at Coachella yesterday. He seemed a little nervous at the beginning, but slowly took control over the audience halfway through his track 'Thinking About You'. It seems only natural for someone that's gone from struggling with his deal with Def Jam to performing at Coachella in just a year.

Frank Ocean and Coldplay (From sampling them to supporting them on a European Tour)
Today it was announced that Frank Ocean will support Coldplay on their European Tour this Summer. The Odd Future singer will be joining the English band for a month alongside Marina and the Diamonds, touring Germany, Denmark, Sweden, France and more. This time last year Frank Ocean released his Nostalgia/Ultra mixtape with one of the hit songs 'Strawberry Swing' carrying Coldplay samples, just over a year on..he is about to open for one of the biggest bands in music at the moment. Having worked with Beyonce, Jay Z, Kanye West and Nas this year it seems that the Frank Ocean is going from strength to strength.
In some less exciting news for the RnB star, the American band 'The Eagles' have threatened to sue him over the use of their sample in his song 'American Wedding' if he sings the track live again. Ocean replied “He (They) threatened to sue if I perform it again. I think that's fuckin awesome. I guess if I play it at Coachella it'll cost me a couple hundred racks. If I don't show up to court, it'll be a judgement against me & will probably show up on my credit report. Oh well. Ain't this guy rich as fuck? Why sue the new guy? I didn't make a dime off that song. I released it for free. If anything I'm paying homage". I think he should play it again.
