Congrats to friend of the pod Roland for opening Revel Hollywood a restaurant, bar, and lounge in the heart of Hollywood with specialty nights like Jazz, Salsa, Throwback, and Afrobeats! Make sure you pull up and check out the hottest new spot in LA! fLexx pulled up to Chop Life this past weekend, Chef Ohi's mentioned the event his brother created on episode 134, fLexx said it lived up to all the hype great music, good people, and fantastic food. Shout out to the dancers especially NK because she ate and left no crumbs! Ashley got her hippie on at Groove Fest in Topanga Canyon. Original SSCO performed a dope set of unreleased dance music and Ash fell in love with an indie band TruckBox. Come Thru got so much love over at the House of Orange Fashionably Late event at peppermint club especially when the crew at VerySpecial co-hosted! Ash loved that it was a formal event; everyone showed up and showed out! Keep music in the school Ash + fLex talked about their lack of musical talent! Aye Caramba! Tyga apologized to the Mexican community for his “Ay Caramba” music video in an interview with American Cholo podcast host Gil Tejada on the LA Leakers radio show. The apology was taken down and has since sparked a protest of the radio station spearheaded by a friend of the pod DeJon from A Day in LA Magazine after a video surfaced of American Cholo calling Black people slurs. Ashley's takeaway The message, the delivery, and the messenger are very important! The song Energy on Beyonce's new album Renaissance uses an interpolation aka a sample of Kelis's Milkshake. This triggered Kelis to release a very heated iOS press release which caused Bey to just removed the sample from the album and keep it pushing.
