Coachella Could Be Moved to October of Next Year
Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorThe 2020 Coachella Festival is still officially scheduled for two weekends in October, as announced on March 10. But it has long been blindingly obvious that short of some unforeseen coronavirus-quashing miracle, there’s no way that the festival will take place this year at all, at least not with an audience.

Prince Estate Shares Powerful Handwritten Pro-Tolerance Note on His Birthday
Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorPrince often played special concerts on June 7, his birthday — the most elaborate was probably a full-scale show at Detroit’s Cobo Arena in 1986 — and since his death in 2016, has observed the date with special events (like Spike Lee’s block party in Brooklyn in 2017) or releases (like last year’s “Originals” album).For a number of reasons, 2020 is different, not least because of the nationwide protests against police violence that have spiraled in the wake of George Floyd’s death at the hands of law-enforcement officers in Prince’s beloved hometown of Minneapolis.Rather than an elaborate release or event, on his 62nd birthday, Prince’s estate has shared a handwritten note from the artist about intolerance, as

Meek Mill Drops Hard-Hitting New Song, ‘Otherside of America’ (Listen)
Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorAt the end of a harrowing week for the country, Meek Mill dropped a hard-hitting new song called “Otherside of America.” Mill has had his own encounters with law enforcement in recent years: He spent five months in prison in a widely criticized 2017 ruling over technical violations from a years-old conviction. After outcry from thousands of fans and vocal support from Jay-Z and Philadelphia 76ers owner Michael Rubin, he was released in April 2018 and has since become an outspoken activist for reform in the criminal justice system.Few of those specifics are in “Otherside of America” — which opens with a typically inflammatory passage from President Donald Trump — but the spirit certainly is.
