2 Chainz Fronts Fear of God x MLB's "Atlanta Capsule" Ahead of All-Star Week
Fear of GodEssentialshas teamed up withMLBahead ofAll-Star WeekinAtlanta, Georgia, to celebrate the city's vibrant cultural legacy with Georgia-born rapper2 Chainzfronting the photos. The campaign not only honors the city's sports teams across the MLB, NBA, and NFL, but also its contributions to Rap music and the Civil Rights movement. According toWWD, the Atlanta Capsule taps trusted industry purveyors with caps made in collaboration with New Era, sweatshirts, and batting gloves developed with Franklin Sports. The pieces call out Atlanta's big three teams the Braves (MLB), Falcons (NFL) and Hawks (NBA), and also pay respect to the 'Negro Southern League' and the 'Negro American League,' like the Monarchs, Black Crackers, Black Yankees, Grays and X-Giants — originating during the US's era of racial segregation. The graphics represent a loud and clear political statement, reprising chants and signage from the 1960s Black Liberation movement in Atlanta. In addition to empowering phrases like 'We Won't Move' and 'Freedom Now,' one graphic reads 'Don't buy where you can't work,' echoing the numerous consumer boycotts of the era. The statement is especially relevant to the current climate, as boycotts continue to affect retailers who have drawn back on DEI initiatives and affirmative action. In 1996, Atlanta hosted the Summer Olympics, solidifying its status as an American sports hub. The city has also become an epicenter for African-American arts and music, serving as a hub for some of the world's most renowned rappers like 21 Savage, Andre 3000, Young Thug, Gucci Mane, Soulja Boy, and, of course, 2 Chainz, among many others. The Fear of God x MLB collection celebrates these thriving cultural movements while also honoring the historic struggle of African-American communities. The Atlanta Capsule will be available exclusively atThe Websterin Lenox Square this Friday and later on the Fear of God web store.

Another Aussie music festival cancelled as Listen Out is canned - after concertgoers slammed the 'mediocre' lineup
Listen Out music festival is the latest casualty of Australia's dwindling music scene. The annual Australian festival, which has been held in Sydney, Perth, Melbourne and Brisbane since September 2013, will not go ahead for 2025. The team behind the event shared the sad news in an Instagram post on Monday. ' breath. This one's tough. Listen Out won't be going ahead this year,' the post read. 'We've always tried to build something special where the lineup reflects the culture and the energy flows both ways between the artists and you,' it continued. 'The last few years have been tough. So, we're hitting pause on Listen Out as you know it. But we're not going anywhere.' The festival will take a new form, called Listen Out Presents, which will involve 'one-off carefully curated parties in killer locations around Australia all year long'. 'We're still here for the good in a new way. We're not saying anything now,' the social media post read. The first of these events is set to take place in Perth in the near future, featuring 'some of the best artists in the world'. Last year, fans slammed the festival for it's 'mediocre' line-up and expensive tickets which start at $190 for general admission. Festivalgoers flocked to Instagram as the music fest announced its 2024 line-up which boasted 21 Savage, Skepta, Lil Tjay and Tyla as the Hip Hop headliners. Flo Milli, Jessie Reyez, Teezo Touchdown and Lithe will also take to the stage, with the electronic genre being represented by John Summit and Sub Focus. 'How do the prices keep going up but the lineups keep getting worse?' one disgruntled festivalgoer wrote. Another said: 'Wow could this be any worse? Skepta is the only good act and his festival sets are historically mediocre. 'Aus festivals clearly have no pull anymore but continue to charge through the roof. Guess all the basic ahh people will love that you got John summit.' A disappointed follower added: 'Is that it for the hip hop lineup?' 'Ain't nobody listening to 21 Savage man,' one person said of the number one headliner act. Despite the criticism, other fans flocked to the comments to praise the line-up with some saying Listen Out was 'saving' the festival scene in Australia. Listen Out is one of many festivals that have faced the axe in a spate of cancellations in the past year. R'n'B festival Souled Out was cancelled in February with all three shows in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane dropped. Victorian event, The Esoteric Psychedelic Circus Festival, was also canned. Likewise, organisers announced earlier this year that Splendour in the Grass will not be returning in 2025.
