Two of the biggest acts in Latin rap, Gera MX and Nanpa Básico, will stop at Palladium Times Square on November 3 as part of the Que Chimba La Raza Tour. The 11-city American tour gets underway on August 31 in Los Angeles.
Gera MX- Facebook
Born Gerardo Daniel Torres Montana, Gera MX has skyrocketed to global fame in large part because of his 2021 song “Botella Tras Botella”. The track made history, becoming the first regional Mexican song to ever debut on the Billboard Hot 100. With origins in Latin boom-bap, Gera MX has steadily added to his vivid, personal, and hard-hitting lyrics. His current sound is decidedly unique, infusing traditional latin rap songs with elements of ranchera and reggaeton. Once a mainstay in the Mexican rap scene, Gera MX has carved a lane for himself in the international Latin landscape.
Colombian artist Nanpa Básico started making music back in 2012. Since then, the Medellín native has racked up millions of fans from around the world. Básico’s music is intimate, vulnerable, and diverse in its sound. From melodic Latin love songs to hard hitting street raps, Básico is constantly looking to express different parts of his identity and life. His 2022 album HECHO M13RD4 made waves for its melancholic atmosphere and heartbreaking tracks. The album included features from Ryan Castro, Santa Fe Klan, and of course Gera MX.
Tickets will be available via an artist presale starting on Wednesday, July 12 at 10 AM. The general on-sale for the Que Chimba La Raza Tour will start on Friday, July 14 at 10 AM here.

The Brooklyn Public Library recently unveiled a tribute exhibition “The Book Of HOV,” in honor of legendary rapper Jay-Z. The exhibit, divided up between key elements of Jay’s career, is available for free to anyone with a library card. The display includes a recreation of Baseline Studios, a collection of records used as samples, artifacts, apparel, photos, and more.
Born Shawn Carter, Jay-Z grew up in the Marcy housing projects in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. Raised by his mother Carter grew an affinity for music, specifically hip-hop, at an early age. In 1995, Jay, along with two partners, originally established Roc-A-Fella records after multiple labels rejected them. It was under Roc-A-Fella that Carter would drop his now famous debut album Reasonable Doubt in ‘96. The project would catapult the artist to rap stardom and since then “HOV” hasn’t looked back.
In total the Brooklyn native has released 13 solo albums, 4 collaborative projects, and has amassed 24 Grammy Awards. The rapper’s pen game has long been praised as one of the best in hip-hop history. Equipped with an endless supply of lyrical flows, metaphors, stories, and rhyming patterns, Jay has become one of the most influential figures in music.
Carter’s artistic legacy could provide more than enough content for an exhibit by itself, however it’s the rapper’s business and cultural accomplishments that has solidified him as one of the most successful musicians of all time. The Book Of Hov aims to honor the influences and events that helped to shape Jay into the artist and person he is today.
Punctuated by an atmosphere of inclusivity and individuality, the exhibit looks to inspire guests from all walks of life to “always bet on yourself”. Designed by Bruce and Shelly Rogers, the display makes up two floors of the library. In collaboration with the event the library created 13 new custom cards to correspond with HOV’s albums. Organizers also encourage guests to bring their own phones and music to help add to the experience.
Roc Nation CEO Desiree Perez devised the entire event reportedly without Carter’s knowledge. The organizers strategically placed the exhibit in a public space to ensure maximum accessibility. Roc Nation reportedly covered the costs of the entire exhibit and are expected to donate money, books, and records to the library.

As the world is getting ready to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Hip Hop, some of the genre’s biggest icons are stepping back into the limelight including the New York supergroup Boot Camp Clik. After a sixteen year long hiatus, the group now returns with an old school music video alongside their new single “Wotcha Call Strength.”
Boot Camp Clik is a Brooklyn, New York hip-hop supergroup started by Duck Down Records in the 90’s and comprised of the eight members; Buckshot (Black Moon), Tek and Steele (Smif N Wessun), Rock, the late great Sean Price (Heltah Skeltah), Starang Wondah, Top Dogg, and Louieville (O.G.C.). The collective has also recently added long-time affiliate Rustee Juxx to the group.
The Clik was one of the genre’s first true supergroups that changed how hip hop music was received as their influence in music and fashion was undeniable during the genre’s golden age. Individually, and collectively, the BCC has created numerous classics, albums, and singles including Black Moon’s Enta Da Stage, Smif N Wessun’s Dah Shinin’, Heltah Skeltah’s Nocturnal, Fab 5’s (Heltah Skeltah & O.G.C.) ‘Leflaur Leflah Eshkoshka” and Sean Price’s Monkey Barz.
Now, back for round two, the BCC’s new single “Wotcha Call Strength,” produced by The Arcitype and directed by David Janoff, reminds the world what true icons they really are. The video shows the group roaming around an empty Forest Hills Stadium in Queens. Starting off strong with a verse by Rustee Juxx, the song follows each member taking their turn speaking their truth straight to the camera, showing viewers what a comeback truly looks like.
BCC’s co-founder Dru Ha claims, “In honor and celebration of Hip Hop 50, we felt that the BCC’s catalog of work, contributions and legacy needed to be recognized properly. It’s too easy to sit back and say the Hip Hop community should verify you and painstaking to go out and have to remind people with words, so we felt there was no better way to make a statement than to drop a new record with all the original members (RIP to Sean Price).”
The Boot Camp Clik will also be taking to the stage in the upcoming Rock The Bells Festival at the Forest Hills Stadium which will take place on August 5th. Until then, fans will be able to stream and enjoy their single everywhere.
The Swedish band, MESHUGGAH will be returning to North America for a three-week long tour this Fall. The metal icons will make a stop at the Long Island stage The Paramount on December 8th and The Wellmont Theater of New Jersey on December 10th.
The tour will commence on November 21st in San Diego, California, leading the metal-heads throughout the states making stops in Canada along the way. These performances mark the first time the band has played on Canadian soil in over five years.
The three-week trek follows the release of MESHUGGAH’s full-length ninth studio album, Immutable dropped earlier this year. Support throughout the tour will be provided by the Swedish heavy metal band In Flames along with Whitechapel, the American death core band from Tennessee. Additionally, during the final performance in Laval, Quebec, the three acts will be joined by Voivod.
Fans are now able to purchase tickets for the metal packed shows through Citi and Artist. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general sales beginning on July 14th at livenation.com.

Legendary blues guitarist Joe Bonamassa recently released a new song titled “Well, I Done Got Over It”. The track was originally released by Guitar Slim back in 1953. Bonamassa’s rendition is part of his upcoming Oct. 6 album Blues Deluxe Vol. 2. The project comes 20 years after the New York native’s breakthrough album Blues Deluxe.

“Well, I Done Got Over It’ is a high-energy tune that perfectly captures all of the attitude and groove of classic blues-rock songs. Packed with the rich sounds of horns and capped off with an impressive guitar solo, the track showcases every ounce of Bonamassa’s artistic ability.
“My father introduced me to Guitar Slim a long time ago, back when I was a kid… He has such a velvety smooth voice, and he had such a way of delivering a song. We did a very British take on this Guitar Slim song, it’s like the Blues Breakers meets Guitar Slim meets Joe Bonamassa, Josh Smith and company”
Joe Bonamassa
Born in New Hartford but raised in Utica, Bonamassa discovered music at an early age. By the time he was 12, Bonamassa was traveling around the state playing various local shows. The guitarist made a name for himself off of debut 2000 album A New Day Yesterday, which reached the #9 spot Billboard Blues chart. From 2002-06 Bonamassa had five albums reach the Blues Top 10, including his 2003 effort Blues Deluxe.
Bonamassa’s new project will see the Grammy-nominated artist return to some of his original sources of inspiration. Blues Deluxe Vol. 2 features two new original songs as well as eight new covers. The album also gets contributions fromReese Wynans (keys), Calvin Turner (bass), Lamar Carter (drums), Kirk Fletcher (guitar), and Josh Smith (guitar).
“Well, I Done Got Over It” follows the release of the album’s previous single “Twenty-Four Hour Blues” which dropped back in June. The song is a rip-roaring interpretation of Bobby “Blue” Bland’s classic song which was released in 1974. Bonamassa’s version includes an inspired and passionate vocal and guitar performance.
“The outro guitar solo is incredible… It happened live on the floor and has some deep lines you’ve probably never heard Joe play before. The band is absolutely smoking, and Calvin Turner did an incredible String and Horn arrangement. Super proud of this one”
Guitarist Josh Smith
Bonamassa has a slew of performance dates during the Summer and Fall. Stops in New York include shows at the Northwell Health at Jones Beach Theater and Bethel Woods Center for the Arts.

Delaney Silvernell is known best in New York State for ascending from a Queensbury local to a sensational contestant on NBC’s The Voice. Delaney has made notable strides in her musical career since her debut at age 21.
Playing shows in Los Angeles and New York, Delaney has put her singer-songwriter skills on display, amassing over 350k streams on Spotify alone through her signature blend of pop and R&B. Five years – and many captivating singles – since the voice, Delaney is planning a Northeast Tour at the end of the summer, which will feature her newest EP, Blue Dream.
While Delaney Silvernell is currently an independent artist based in Los Angeles, her journey began many miles away. Originally from the Adirondack region of Queensbury, Delaney knew from a young age that music was her passion.
I’ve been a musician for as long as I can remember, and it doesn’t really feel like a conscious decision I made to become one. Music was really the only thing that fueled me and helped me make sense of the world around me. So, it seemed like my natural path.
Delaney Silvernell
Following her natural trajectory, Delaney moved away from her hometown at 17 to pursue her musical education, studying Songwriting at Berklee College of Music. After graduating in 2017, Delaney was immediately cast as a contestant on season 15 of NBC’s The Voice. Her audition immediately caught the attention of coach Kelly Clarkson. Primarily coached by Kelly Clarkson, Delaney was further coached on screen by music industry greats such as Mariah Carey, Adam Levine, and Thomas Rhett.
After Delaney’s debut at age 21, Delaney has spent the past few years crafting her own space in music. She has played shows in Los Angeles and New York, while independently releasing original music which has been widely successful – amassing over 350k streams on Spotify alone.
Delaney’s music explores her emotions in a real, raw way that captivate audiences with a combination of vulnerable lyrics and powerful vocals. She rides rebelliously on the borders of genres such as R&B/Soul, Pop, Alternative, Blues, and more as she doesn’t believe her artistry can be confined by the boarders of one category. Delaney tries to create music that gives people space to feel deeply and unapologetically, and find peace in those emotions. Such music is often created alongside those who support her musical growth.
I draw inspiration from my life experiences, as well as that of those around me. I find inspiration in sorting out complicated emotions, and truly hope my songs help others do the same. My creative process varies, but my creative team is a pretty consistent group of my friends, which makes it that much more fun.
Blue Dream
Delaney’s most recent EP, Blue Dream, features 4 songs ranging from folk-pop to soulful genres. The project has already been premiered at one of LA’s most famous venues, The Troubadour, and will be performed in multiple cities throughout New York State through Delaney’s upcoming Northeast Tour.
While each song featured in Blue Dream is a work of art in its own right, when asked about her favorite piece, Delaney described her favorite song as one that has truly come full circle.
It’s impossible to pick a favorite, because they all have a special place in my heart. I do love “Wildflower,” though, because it was such a unique process to create it. “Wildflower” originated as a poem I wrote during a sleepless night back in college. A few years later, I stumbled upon the lyrics with a whole new perspective on life, and was able to put them to music and grow the song into what it is today.
Upcoming Projects
Blue Dream is only the first of many ambitious projects Delany’s future holds. Delaney has already begun writing her first full length album, and plans to return to the studio to finish recording it following her tour at the end of the summer. In the meantime, she will be releasing a live album from her recent performance at one of Los Angeles’ most famous venues, The Troubadour.
Delaney’s successful singles and EPs hold promise for equally engaging full length albums. In her continuous journey of exploring complicated emotions, Delaney detailed one of her unreleased songs as one of the most difficult to write in her career.
My most difficult song to write is actually still unreleased. It’s called “Dark Side of the Moon,” and I co-wrote it with my friend and producer, Alisse Laymac. “Dark Side of the Moon,” details my healing process from self-sabotaging the good things in my life. Being honest about that and putting that feeling into words was difficult, but so healing and cathartic.
Tour Dates
Currently, Delaney Silvernell is building a tour around the following dates in New York State:
Additionally, Delaney is securing a date at Rockwood Music Hall in NYC in late August or early September, the date to be announced. She plans to visit other New England-area venues as well. Once all tour dates have been secured, an official press release will be announced.
Delaney’s authentic approach to music, alongside her captivating, soulful lyrics and sound truly make her one of a kind. Be sure to listen to her music on Spotify, and check out her website for more tour updates.
