At a recent Atlanta performance, Motion Family’s cameras catch Yela performing “Good To Go” and B.o.B. & Playboy Tre running through “Bet I” for the hometown crowd. That’s the factual stuff.

What I actually saw was a performer who’s eclipsed what he was already able to do last year, and do it independently for the most part. His (and his team’s) work ethic and ability to draw large audiences to shows basically twisted Atlantic’s arms. Believe that. Yet, he’s still able to come back home like he never left and rock a crowd. And, in the same clip, I see a guy from the opposite end of the color spectrum following a career trajectory already cleared for him by the aforementioned other artist. One that allows both artists’ music to go all outside the lines and bleed genres, simultaneously creating melting pots crowds who all gather to support good music.
