4 Hip-Hop Albums To Play When You Visit Los Angeles
The West Coast has bred some of the most compelling hip-hop of all time. While New York is unmistakably the mecca of the culture, Los Angeles and the Bay Area expanded what it could’ve sounded like. For LA in particular, acts like N.W.A. and DJ Quik helped paint the picture of what life looked and sounded like over the years. Hot, funky synthesizers seared records and gave it a distinctive edge that separated the city from NY. The funk and soul samples of George Clinton, the Jheri curls, the Raiders hats, all of it is credited to how we understand Los Angeles.

Maurice White's Lost Orchestral Work 'PASSAGES' to Premiere in Long Beach
The 68-member Symphonic Jazz Orchestra (SJO), the nation's premier hybrid orchestra blending the worlds of jazz and classical music, announced the newly discovered orchestral work believed to be lost to time.

It marks the first opportunity for audiences to experience White's powerful and expansive orchestral score that bridges eras and genres-capturing his creative spirit of its original moment while resonating freshly in the present day. The premiere performance will anchor a program paying tribute to White, comprising some of Earth Wind & Fire's greatest hits arranged by jazz luminaries including John Clayton, Derrick Hodge, Vince Mendoza, Marshall Giles and Mitch Glickman. Special guest artists to be announced soon.

Letter: Inglewood concert noise at SoFi Stadium is unconscionable!
Each time there is concert activity we hear it and feel it at the furthest ends of Inglewood. We shouldn’t hear and feel it, and what about those who live closer? Most Inglewood Residents’ movements and parking are constantly restricted coming home home or trying to leave. Who are we supposed to report this to and how? Who will actually uphold promises made by the Administration re: costs – we’re being taxed in every way and our streets, sidewalks and other environments that we’ve paid for, for years, still haven’t been fixed.
