Young M.A. @ El Rey Theatre [Tickets]
In 2016, Brooklyn’s own Young M.A. took over radio airwaves with her summer hit “OOOUUU.” The track was one of the most remixed songs of the year and was followed-up by her debut studio album Herstory, which included another banger from M.A. titled “Hot Sauce.”
DJ Quik @ The Novo [Tickets]
Legendary west coast rapper and producer DJ Quik is still delivering the musical goods. His collaborative project Rosecrans with Problem featured major guest appearances from The Game and Wiz Khalifa, but nothing beats classic Quik like his 1991 Billboard hit “Tonite” or 2001’s “Trouble.”
